Lot Information
Lot 1
This is an Intention to Award - Transparency Notice, following a PSR Competitive Process to provide Health and Social Care Prescribing Coordinators (HSPC) in North West London (Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster - former footprint of West London CCG) for Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust.
HSPCs are experts in care coordination, prevention, and supporting patients to access the third sector and other voluntary organisations. HSPCs can conduct initial screenings and pre-assessments for less complex patients and can coordinate full assessments at a surgery or at the patient's home. They will contribute towards coordinating My Care My Way Hubs and other appointments, including sending out appointment letters and organising transport if required.
HSPCs, if qualified and trained to do so, will carry out blood tests, urinalysis and measure basic observations such as blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and temperature. HSPCs will carry out assessments for equipment and minor adaptations.
The ICT model is an evolving model and as such this service specification is continuously reviewed by the commissioners, the service provider and other key partners.
The approximate lifetime value of the contract is PS4,200,000.00.
The contract will start on 1st March 2026 for a period of 3 years.
This contract has been awarded under the Competitive Process via the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
