The project, titled "Support for a Child with Highly Complex Needs," is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. The procurement relates to health services, specifically requiring a 24-hour nursing package of care to be delivered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Interested parties were invited to express their interest by emailing the contact person, Rosalind Carter, by 4:00 PM on 3rd September 2015. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in paediatric nursing and complex care management. Providers who can demonstrate their capacity to administer advanced medical care, including administering intravenous medication and developing comprehensive care plans, will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations capable of executing competency-based training programmes for nursing staff will find this opportunity aligns well with their service offerings, potentially facilitating growth in a specialised and crucial sector of the healthcare industry. ## Notice We are seeking expressions of interest from Providers to provide a 24 hour nursing package of care to support a child with highly complex medical needs at home. This child requires the support of trained nurses due to the clinical judgement required when meeting the child's needs and to manage the intensive and complex medication regime in response to the child's constantly fluctuating condition. We require the provider to undertake a competency based training programme that will include the ability for nurses to administer intravenous medication via a Portacath; competencies need to be achieved prior to the Nurses being phased in to care for the child. Alongside this the Provider would need to complete risk assessments, develop comprehensive care plans and undertake full case management of the package. The expectation is that the clinical oversight, care plan development and clinical governance would be managed by an experienced children's nurse. Please see attachment for further details. If you would like to express an interest, please email Rosalind Carter at Rosalind.Carter@ardengemcsu.nhs.uk by no later than 4.00pm on 3rd September 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/638004b4-c983-4fb8-8e63-6d893985a99c | | 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 | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2018 at 10:39 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/638004b4-c983-4fb8-8e63-6d893985a99c - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bd165e75-c34a-4aeb-a530-c53a3de938b9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/638004b4-c983-4fb8-8e63-6d893985a99c 8th January 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bd165e75-c34a-4aeb-a530-c53a3de938b9 20th August 2015 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/14f80802-2aa4-4563-91f8-dbafa26d95d7 Detailed information regarding nursing care package requirements. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c09b652a-39d9-42db-9449-7437c29ca21b Detailed information regarding nursing care package requirements. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
