Diabetes is included within the LLR Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) and states the CCGs aim to maximise the number of people receiving diabetes education and diabetes prevention education. Diabetes has been a key priority for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) for a number of years and in 2013 a strategic diabetes document was written in partnership with the Leicester Diabetes Centre called "Transforming Diabetes Services in LLR". Two of the 13 recommendations within the diabetes strategic document were around access to patient education which stated: Recommendation 12: Patient education - An evidenced based patient intervention programme for prevention of type 2 diabetes is commissioned, with coordination of a range of services and options for patient to access, including metformin for suitable high risk patients who do not respond to lifestyle advice. Recommendation 13: In a whole systems way, accessibility of evidence based patient education programmes for type 1 and type 2 diabetes are commissioned. NHS England has provided Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland CCGs with funding to focus on structured diabetes education. Part of this funding includes through two separate lots: - making available tailored services for Type 2 diabetic women planning on becoming pregnant; (Lot 1) - developing a course for patients under the age of 18 years with type 2 diabetes; (Lot 2) LLR CCGs are looking for a provider for the two elements through two separate procurements. The provider will be expected to: - develop and design a Type 2 diabetes education course - undertake service user and relevant stakeholders communication and engagement - running face to face education (an element of which must be one to one or group education) Estimated value for this is circa PS190k for six months (Lot 1 - PS60k; Lot 2 - PS130k). The CCGs would like suitably qualified providers to develop appropriate education materials and then roll-out education and counselling with the cohort of patients identified.
