Complex Disability Equipment - Prosthetic Specialised Services For People Of All Ages With Limb Loss
Notice Description
This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of NHS England South East's, (the Commissioner's), intention to recommission Complex Disability Equipment - Prosthetic Specialised Services to individuals of all ages with Limb Loss. The Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services. The service aims to maximise the mobility, independence, and quality of life of the individual, working in collaboration with the patient as equal partners. This aim is achieved by the provision of prostheses (artificial limbs) through a dedicated and specialised multidisciplinary team. These specialised services seek to empower patients, provide them with information about their condition(s) and offer individual choice(s) about where, how and by whom they are to be treated and allow for a collaboratively agreed prescription(s) to be provided. The ability to return to normal life and work are key service outcomes thereby improving the individual's quality of life. This is achieved by providing services that are focused on: Person (Patient) Centred Service: Informed Patient Choice * Patient Information Pack * The patient or their advocates are provided access to all the information necessary to make informed and timely choices * Collaboratively produced personalised care plans with the Patient/MDT including individual goal setting and improving and maintaining health and well-being * The Patient working collaboratively with the MDT may exercise their patient choice to decide by whom they are seen and where they receive their treatment Timing of Treatment Appointments need to be agreed, flexible and include emergency appointments. There should be sufficient time allowed for clinicians to work with service users to achieve an optimal outcome at each appointment and over time. The dynamic nature of rehabilitation means that as the patients goals change so does the rehabilitation and re-ablement programme. Area of focus to maximise independence would be: * Education and Advice * Mobility and Stability * Activities of Daily Living * Occupational/Vocational Management * Recreation * Social and Psychological Wellbeing The service is expected to cover Kent and Medway. The total contract value is currently expected to be PS2,034,442 (based on 2023/2024 values). All figures are subject to change. The contract will be for an initial 30-month period, with the option to extend for a further 24 months (2 x 12-month extensions). A 6-month notice period will be in place. Providers who are interested in delivering these services are asked to express their interest and provide evidence of their capability and capacity in relation to the service requirements through a Market Engagement Questionnaire by no later than 12 Noon on 17th April 2024 This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Additional information: This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the Authority or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The Authority will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise.
