## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services is leading the procurement process for the "Continuing Healthcare Administration and Brokerage Service" for Wandsworth and Merton Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). This tender falls under the healthcare services industry and is located in London, UK. The contract, valued at £1,788,200, is in the Award stage as of 31 March 2018, with a contract period set from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019. This procurement was initiated through a direct award method to ensure continuity for vulnerable patients eligible for funded nursing care during a planned competitive procurement process later in 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare administration and management services. Companies that specialise in delivering care package management and electronic record solutions would be particularly well-suited to participate in future competitive bidding processes as the NHS aims to establish a singular approach to healthcare administration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage with the NHS CCGs for potential collaborations in delivering integrated healthcare services.

## Notice

The contract is for the delivery of administration and management of Continuing Healthcare caseloads including brokerage of service user placements. An interim contract is being directly awarded to an existing provider of local services to ensure continuity of a healthcare commissioning support function overseeing CHC placements and their administration in regard to patients eligible for Funded Nursing Care (FNC) and fully funding NHS care under the Continuing Healthcare regulations. This temporary contract will enable Wandsworth and Merton CCGs to establish and test a singular service solution ahead of a planned competitive procurement process being planned for late summer 2018. This interim arrangement will safeguard the management of care packages for many vulnerable patients until a substantive contract can be competed and awarded for commencement from 1 April 2019. Additional information: The interim contract is being awarded to an existing provider considered to be the only provider capable at this time. The provider already provides the service to Wandsworth CCG and the new scope of the contract includes Merton CCG in order to enable the CCGs to establish an immediate, singular approach of review, case tracking and management of NHS fully funded CHC care packages, including through the use of a common electronic records solution. The duration of this interim contract will allow Wandsworth and Merton CCGs to finalise their shared specification for the future provision of an integrated service. The CCGs plan to invite interest and engage with interested Providers from late July 2018 and intend to run an open, competitive process by September 2018 in order to award a substantive contract to commence a new service from April 2019.
