Contract Summary

NHS England South East (the Commissioner) is seeking to secure a Provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver Complex Disability Equipment - Prosthetic Specialised Services to individuals of all ages with Limb Loss. 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. Additional information: The total contract value, including extension options is currently expected to be £16,442,002.50 ex VAT (based on current values). All figures are subject to change. The contract will be for an initial 60-month period, with the option to extend for a further 48 months (4 x 12-month extensions). Services are due to commence in 2025 - please note that the contract start date stipulated within this notice is an anticipated date and is subject to change. TUPE may apply. All ITT responses must be returned by 12 noon on 14th February 2025, at the latest. This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Interested providers will be able to view this opportunity via the live opportunities list on the 'Health Family' e-procurement system, Atamis.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
