Notice Title

Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Assessment Service

Notice Description

NHS Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group seeks to commission an NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Assessment Service, which means a package of care arranged and funded solely by the NHS where an individual has been assessed to have a primary health need. Such care is provided to an individual aged 18 years or over to meet needs that may include; End Of Life, Learning Disabilities, Mental Health (including Dementia), and Physical Disabilities including Brain Injury. The CCG is aware that following a comprehensive review of patients in receipt of CHC in 2016/17, the numbers who are currently on the existing caseload is lower than perhaps anticipated and therefore numbers should be seen as indicative activity levels only. It is acknowledged with a population demographic of increasing numbers of patients living with chronic disease and living longer, there is likely to be growth in these numbers. Any service provision will need to take account of potential changes in checklist criteria (currently under review by the Department Of Health) which could reduce the number of people presenting for initial checklist assessment, and resources diverted to case management as a priority. The anticipated contract start date will be 1st April 2018. The contract duration will be for an initial period of 3 years, with the option to extend by an additional 2 years at the discretion of the Commissioner. The maximum annual value of the service is PS518,560 per annum, including the optional extension. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
