Summary of the contracting process

The NHS England Specialised Commissioning has awarded contracts for Adult Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Centres across various regions. These contracts aim to provide lifelong services to patients over 16 with PCD, ensuring optimal care standards to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the condition. Four lots were awarded to different NHS Trusts, with a contract duration of three years, starting from November 2023, and a possibility of a one-year extension.

This tender represents an opportunity for large-scale health service providers to contribute to the ongoing management of PCD patients, including access to multidisciplinary teams, specialist care, and outreach services. The procurement stage involved a market engagement exercise to assess capacity and capability, leading to the direct award of contracts due to a lack of competition in each lot. Businesses in the health services industry, particularly those with experience in specialist care and service delivery, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

    "description": "This service is for all patients with a diagnosis of PCD over the age of 16 years. This can be patients with a diagnosis made by the PCD Diagnostic Service, patients with a diagnosis of PCD made by a diagnostic service outside the UK, with diagnostic criteria compatible with those in England, or in rare cases, patients in whom a definitive diagnosis has not been made, but in whom the diagnosis is extremely likely (in the clinical opinion of the PCD Specialist). It is a lifelong service for these patients. The service can be accessed by any eligible patient with a diagnosis of PCD irrespective of gender, age, sex, disability, religious belief. Interpreters or use of a language line are provided for families for whom English is not their first language. <br/><br/>The national adult PCD service works closely with the paediatric PCD services and provides a geographically accessible service for patients offering seamless transition for patients from the paediatric PCD centres. The paediatric HSS manages patients up to the age of 16 years, thereafter patients will be managed in the national adult PCD service. Each service additionally provides an outreach service to ensure national equity of access. The centrally commissioned specialised service provides all patients with an annual review, access to the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and a detailed management plan. Further outpatient appointments at the specialist centre are dictated by clinical need and stability. Some PCD patients require intravenous antibiotics either at home or as inpatients. Inpatient care, with appropriate specialised physiotherapy and MDT input, is provided either at the specialist centre or in local services with supervision by the specialist centre. <br/><br/>The core objective of this service is to ensure that all patients with PCD have access to the optimal standards of care to enable a reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with the condition. <br/><br/>The service aims to: <br/><br/>ensure that all PCD adult patients, wherever they live, have access to and are managed according to optimal standards of care. This includes ensuring that: <br/><br/>all PCD adult patients have an annual review by a specialist PCD MDT consisting of a PCD specialist consultant, physiotherapist, nurse specialist and ENT specialist with access to a dietician and psychologist as needed. <br/><br/>all PCD adult patients have access to appropriate home and inpatient antibiotic services <br/><br/>care and management of patients with PCD is coordinated so that patients receive appropriate respiratory, ENT, cardiac, obstetric and physiotherapy care, fertility advice, palliative care and care for other conditions associated with PCD <br/><br/>patients / families and other health professionals are educated on the implications and management of PCD. <br/><br/>raise awareness in the adult respiratory community about the diagnosis of PCD to ensure that these patients are transferred from bronchiectasis clinics to the PCD specialist service to monitor their condition and limit disease progression <br/><br/>reduce the morbidity and mortality related to PCD, as well as the economic burden, associated with late diagnosis and poorly managed disease <br/><br/>enter patients into a national database.",
