Notice Title
Staffordshire Community Ophthalmology Services
Notice Description
NHS Cannock Chase, North Staffordshire, South East Staffordshire & Seisdon Peninsular, Stoke on Trent, and Stafford & Surrounds Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) are intending to undertake, in the future, a formal procurement for Community Ophthalmology services across the aforementioned CCG catchment areas. This is to include a Consultant led integrated service model of local optometrists; where all patients are triaged and, where appropriate, shall be assessed and treated within the Community removing the need to attend secondary care. Following feedback from the Market Engagement event, which took place on 21.03.19, Commissioners are now considering separating the Community Ophthalmology procurement into two separate procurements: one for Tier 2 Optometrist and one for Tier 3 Ophthalmology services. For any patient that requires further intervention through to secondary care, the service will need to work closely with local partner organisations to ensure that a swift, coordinated pathway is followed and that all service users are transferred to the appropriate specialty. This in turn will ensure reduction of delays in overall pathways of care and ensure service user experience is at the heart of all care. The Community Ophthalmology service will be a one stop shop providing a consultant- led Tier 3 triage and treat service for the Staffordshire CCGs. The Tier 2 Optometrist service will be delivered to all 5 aforementioned CCGs with the potential for this to expand to East Staffordshire CCG in the future although East Staffordshire is not currently included in these commissioning plans. The proposed community Tier 2 service will look to provide: - Glaucoma Referral Refinement (GRR) - Minor Eye Care Services (MECS) - Pre/Post-Operative Cataract - Paediatric Shared Care - Ocular Hypertension (OHT) and Suspect Glaucoma Commissioners are seeking innovative proposals to support assessment and treatment within the community along with providing patient education on self-managing their conditions. Following on from this engagement event. Commissioners wish to give interested parties a further opportunity to view the slides presented from at the event and request further feedback. Candidates wishing to participate should register on the portal at https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk (registration and use of the website is free of charge). If your organisation has registered previously, you do not need to re-register. For technical support, contact the Bravo Solution Help-desk on +44 8003684850 or E-mail: help@help@bravosolution.co.uk The updated slides and message from Commissioners can be viewed on the MLCSU Bravo Portal at https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. These documents can be viewed at ITT 669. The deadline for feedback to be received is Friday 12th April 2019 17:00hrs Additional information: The final full-service specification will be published as part of a future procurement early in 2019. Organisations will be responsible for their own costs in relation to participating in this process. Currently it is not the intention of East Staffordshire CCG to participate in this procurement. At this stage East Staffordshire CCG cannot commit to participating in this procurement or that its relevant services will fall within the scope of the contract. However, East Staffordshire CCG has the option that, at a later date, subject to agreement with the other CCGs', it may participate and for its services to fall within the contract scope. This option may be exercised either during the procurement process or during the contract term. East Staffordshire CCG and the other participating CCG's also have yet to agree the contractual approach should the option for East Staffordshire CCG to participate be exercised. This may be by East Staffordshire CCG being a party to the contract with the successful provider; or through the participating CCGs' contracting with the successful provider on behalf of East Staffordshire CCG or through an alternative contract mechanism to be agreed between the participating CCGs' and East Staffordshire CCG Should a procurement be undertaken, this will be done via the Midlands and Lancashire CSU e-procurement portal hosted by Bravo Solutions. 'Light Touch Regime' services: The future procurement will be for clinical 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'). Accordingly, the contracting authorities are only bound by those parts of the Regulations detailed in Chapter 3 Particular Procurement Regimes Section 7. The contracting authorities are not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations. The procedure which the contracting authorities are following is set out in the MOI. 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. Candidates wishing to participate should register on the portal at https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk (registration and use of the website is free of charge). If your organisation has registered previously, you do not need to re-register. For technical support, contact the Bravo Solution Help-desk on +44 8003684850 or E-mail: help@help@bravosolution.co.uk
