Notice Title

Care Home Service - Spot Purchase

Notice Description

The NCL ICB currently procures a substantial number of spot purchase bed days from BUPA and wishes to formalise the relationship with a 3+2 year contract to reduce the overall cost to the system and provide more certainty to both parties. Other providers of similar services with whom we have an established relationship and sufficient spend will also be able to request the transition from spot purchase arrangements to a formal contract. The contract will be renewed for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. This will allow NCL ICB to move from a spot purchase to a more sustainable and financially efficient contract.
