The procurement process is titled "NWL0001 End of Life and Community Specialist Palliative Care Services" and invites interested providers to engage by the deadline of 4 March 2022. This procurement aims to evaluate the community's specialist palliative care needs and explore integrated service options, with the expectation that decisions will affect contracts commencing post-March 2023. The market engagement notice was published on 31 January 2022, with key services needed, including inpatient beds, hospice support, and bereavement services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in end-of-life care, community health services, consultancy, and related support services. Providers capable of delivering comprehensive care solutions, including education and training services, are encouraged to participate. Given the tender's focus on integrated service delivery and the potential for contract extensions, smaller and voluntary sector enterprises, along with established healthcare providers, may find a viable opportunity to expand their operations and contribute to essential community health outcomes. ## Notice NWL CCG, requires end of life and community specialist palliative care services to be provided to all patients living in their last phase of life and require end of life or palliative care (usually patients with end stage conditions, such as cancer or HIV/AIDs). Key services required include: -inpatient beds, hospice at home, day services and other support services; -Assessment; -Symptom control & involvement in treatment decisions; -Advice and care in all settings; -Coordinated home support with general providers to enable patients to stay at home day care services; -Family support; -Bereavement support; and -Education and training. The CCG currently have the following contracts in place, which are partially funded by the service providers below to provide the above services: Boroughs/Locations: St Luke's Hospice - Harrow and Brent (PS1,763,089) St John's Hospice - Brent (PS272,340) St John's Hospice - West London, Central London and H&F (PS2,013,740) Marie Curie (Rapid Response & Planned Nursing) - Hounslow (PS210,356) Marie Curie Hampstead Hospice - Brent (PS112,200) Harlington Hospice/MHS - Hillingdon (PS918,000) The term of the above mentioned contracts are 1st April 2021 - 31st March 2022 and a year's further extension has been granted for 12 months, 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2023 during which time, the CCG will assess and review the community specialist palliative needs of the service users. In particular, the CCG is looking at ways in which the services can be provided in an integrated way and whether the CCG can implement a 24-hour consultant palliative care support line across ICPs or the ICS. NWL CCG is currently of the view that the services described are capable of being provided only by the providers mentioned above, and are not aware of other providers who could deliver the services at the current tariffs and who have estates in the areas where services need to be delivered. The purpose of this notice is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions and to invite anyone interested in delivering the services described above to contact us by 4 March 2022. NWL CCG is considering options for making future arrangements for these services beyond March 2023 which may involve looking to tender the opportunity in the future and/or directly awarding contracts to other hospices/providers depending on the outcome of the CCG's review and any organisation coming forward in response to this notice. Any capable provider may come forward by 4 March 2022 to engage with the CCG. If it is the case that the above providers are the only provider capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the above providers for up to 18 months beyond April 2023. During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf82b786-f955-4135-b9a4-3f525c39aca2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH WEST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 5JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Marylebone | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services - 85312320 - Counselling services - 85323000 - Community health services ## Release History - 10 Feb 2022 at 16:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf82b786-f955-4135-b9a4-3f525c39aca2 - 1 Feb 2022 at 12:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b6f22ab-e871-4c0b-9080-5965fb57cdac - 31 Jan 2022 at 09:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a015a83-832d-4da0-9ed8-c86e60131943 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf82b786-f955-4135-b9a4-3f525c39aca2 10th February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b6f22ab-e871-4c0b-9080-5965fb57cdac 1st February 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a015a83-832d-4da0-9ed8-c86e60131943 31st January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
