This initiative is designed to enhance healthcare services for approximately 84,000 residents under the Corby Clinical Commissioning Group, located in the East of England. The forthcoming engagement concludes on 23 February 2018, and it aims to contract a provider who can deliver specialist leg ulcer treatment to patients referred from five GP practices. The primary objective is to improve healing rates through a structured management pathway, requiring the selected provider to be accessible Monday to Friday, including Bank Holidays. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in community healthcare delivery, infection control, and patient management for chronic conditions. Firms equipped to provide ongoing treatment plans and necessary infrastructure for delivering care in line with NHS standards would be particularly suited to compete. The collaboration with NHS entities could enhance credibility and visibility in the healthcare market, encouraging partnerships that leverage shared resources to improve patient outcomes. ## Notice NHS Corby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has a population of approximately 84,000. Corby CCG consists of 5 GP member practices that are working together to ensure the local population has high quality healthcare services which are sustainable. We are looking for a provider to deliver a specialist Leg Ulcer clinic for GP patients to offer early access to specialist intervention and improve healing rates for our patient population. Recent studies within a Cochrane review (O'Meara 2009) compared compression bandaging performed within a specialist leg ulcer community clinic with usual treatment by the GP and district nurses, overall healing rates were significantly increased in patients with venous leg ulcers receiving compression within a specialist leg ulcer setting. The service will manage all leg ulcerations from 5 GP practices based in the NHS Corby CCG boundaries. Patients will be initially assessed in their GP practice and will be referred to the Leg Ulcer service from the first point of contact. The service will provide routine treatments as specified by the locally agreed Leg Ulcer pathway. It is anticipated that most patients will require compression bandaging on a weekly basis and that leg ulcers should heal within a 12 week period. An agreed set of outcome measures has been defined including improved healing rates and quality of life to patients. The service must be available between 9 and 5pm, Monday to Friday including Bank Holidays and providers would be expected to supply a self-management plan to patients so to minimise the need for out of hour's interventions. Premises from which the service will be delivered must be suitable for the provision of treatment to patients with venous leg ulcers, including the implementation of the standards for infection control and the safe disposal of contaminated waste. If you would like to express an interest in this service, please send your confirmation by email to Rosalind Carter at Rosalind.Carter@ardengemcsu.nhs.uk by no later than 5.00pm on 23rd February 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd2cce92-432a-4522-9dec-c405f023bbdc | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN3 6BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Boothville and Parklands | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 11:02 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd2cce92-432a-4522-9dec-c405f023bbdc - 9 Feb 2017 at 12:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13d9e663-9d31-4050-8d8b-fc48dac2c471 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd2cce92-432a-4522-9dec-c405f023bbdc 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13d9e663-9d31-4050-8d8b-fc48dac2c471 9th February 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
