## Notice

THIS PROCUREMENT HAS BEEN AWARDED The aim of the service is to improve the quality of life for people with or at risk of recurrence of leg ulcers through the delivery of clinically effective care and advice and reduce the risk of recurrence. The leg ulcer management and healing service will include the assessment, treatment and follow up for patients with leg ulcers of venous, arterial and mixed aetiology. The service is aimed at adults who have been referred with a current leg ulcer for assessment, treatment and advice including after care to minimise recurrence, as long as they meet the referral criteria and do not have contra-indications. The management plan may include onward referral to specialist secondary care services where deemed appropriate. The service will also see and treat patients with non-healing wounds from Horsham and Mid Sussex practices that have not healed after 28 days management in primary care. The service will manage the care of the patient until healing has been achieved and the person can be discharged. The service is intended to drive improvements in the way in which leg ulcer and non-healing wound management services deliver care to patients. It should foster continued quality improvement and will expect providers to deliver clear and formal accountability processes and structures to ensure a safe, effective and integrated continuity of clinical care for all patients. The population covered will be all eligible adult patients referred from a locally registered general practitioner within the Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex areas (leg ulcer service) and within Horsham and Mid Sussex (non-healing wound management service). This procurement has been awarded. The service will commence on 1st November 2018. The contract will be for three years duration. Commissioners reserve the right to extend for up to a further 24 months. The value stated represents the value should the contract be extended for the full 5 year term.
