Notice Title

Pennine Lancashire CCGs Night Sitting Service Framework

Notice Description

NHS Midlands and Lancashire CSU is acting on behalf of NHS Blackburn with Darwen CCG and East Lancashire CCG (the CCGs). The CCGs wish to procure a framework of providers of night sitting services for end of life patients within the localities of the two CCGs. In September 2021, NICE updated its Quality Standard 13, End of life care for adults. Within this quality standard it advises the following should be in place: * generalist and specialist services that can meet the physical and specific psychological needs of people approaching the end of life, including access to medicines and equipment, in a safe, effective, and appropriate way at any time of day or night. * Safe, effective, and appropriate symptom and side-effect management at any time of day or night may require coordinated input from a few different professionals and services. As a minimum, essential 24/7 care services should include: * generalist medical services (including GPs) * nursing services (defined as visiting, rapid response services and provision of one-to-one care at home, including overnight) * personal care services * access to pharmacy services * access to equipment and adaptations * specialist palliative care advice for generalists on symptom and side-effect management. The North West Model for Life Limiting Conditions covers the breadth of end of life care from stable progressive life-limiting condition; incurable, symptoms treatable all the way through to bereavement care. The requirement of this service provision is to focus on the later stage of element 2 & all stage 3, Advancing Disease & Increasing decline (months and weeks) and last days of life (days and hours). The Commissioners are planning to support those patients whose preferred place of death is home by means of providing an End of life respite service to enable patients to remain in their usual place of residence whilst receiving 1:1 support. This service will support carers and family members to take breaks from caring for their loved one, whilst knowing they are being care for. The Framework is for a period of two years (24 months) with an option to extend for 24 months at which time it will be re-opened for new entrants. The estimated financial envelope is PS721,590 per annum. Additional information: This procurement is for Social and other specific services which are Light Touch Regime services for the purpose of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as specified in Schedule 3 of the Regulations ('Regulations') http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/102/schedule/3/made.

The procedure which the Contracting Authority is following is set out in the procurement documents. As the CCG is a relevant body for the purpose of the National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No 2) Regulations 2013 these Regulations also apply to this procurement. Right to Cancel: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to discontinue the procurement process at any time, which shall include the right not to award a contract or contracts and does not bind itself to accept the lowest tender, or any tender received, and reserves the right to award a contract in part, or to call for new tenders should it consider this necessary. The Contracting Authority shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any candidate or tenderer in connection with the completion and return of the information requested in this Contract Notice, or in the completion or submission of any tender, irrespective of the outcome of the competition or if the competition is cancelled or postponed.
