This opportunity falls under the Health Services category (CPV code: 85100000) and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 1st November 2017. The service will be commissioned using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) method, and successful providers will need to sign a standard NHS contract, accepting specified tariffs for the services provided. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for health care providers, particularly those focused on elderly care and nursing services. Businesses that are suitably qualified, including SMEs and voluntary and community sector organisations, are encouraged to compete. The flexible nature of the AQP model allows various types of organisations—sole providers, consortia, or partnerships—to participate, enhancing the likelihood of new entrants gaining a foothold in this essential market. Interested parties should prepare to complete an accreditation questionnaire to demonstrate competency and quality standards, enabling them to secure a place on the list of qualified providers. ## Notice This is the Third Window - successful applicants from the first window do not need to reapply. ** It should be noted that under the Any Qualified Provider model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded. Selection of who will provide the service to the patient will be made by the patient.** Arden & GEM CSU on behalf of Wolverhampton CCG are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified providers for a provision of Nursing Home Placements for Patients qualifying for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) service. The service is being commissioned using the Any Qualified Provider process. The base tariffs are: EMI PS725/week Mental Health PS700/week Physical Disabilities PS700/week The qualification period for the AQP accreditation will be for the remainder of the initial 3 year period from the 01st February 2018. The CCG may open up additional qualification rounds during the accreditation period. Should there be any geographical areas within the CCG area where further choice of provider is required; the CCG reserves the right to limit the next accreditation round to specific geographical areas only. All potential providers who wish to express an interest in the service will be required to complete an accreditation questionnaire. Wolverhampton CCG will assess the responses to the accreditation questionnaire to determine if a provider is sufficiently qualified to provide the service specified in the Service Specification contained within the Accreditation documentation. All providers who meet the required minimum quality criteria, who accepts the NHS Standard Contract Terms and who accept Specification and the Tariff for the service set by the Wolverhampton CCG will be offered a contract. Applications will be accepted from all organisation types including sole provider, consortia, partnership, lead provider etc. In securing services from Providers, the CCGs needs assurance of competence, quality and safety standards, just as it would for services secured under a formal tender process.

The list will be open to new entrants to the market, subject to assessment. The successful provider(s) will be required to sign the standard NHS Contract, accepting all terms and conditions.
