NHS continuing healthcare means a package of ongoing care that is arranged and funded solely by the NHS where the individual has been found to have a 'primary health need' as set out in the National Guidance (DH revised 2012). Such care is provided to an individual aged 18 or over, to meet needs that have arisen as a result of disability, accident or illness. The services provided as part of the package should be seen in the wider context of best practice and service development for each client group. Eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare places no limits on the settings in which the package of support can be offered or on the type of service delivery. The CCGs believe that an integrated CHC model, more so than other contractual vehicle, has the potential to: * Enable the reallocation of investment across complex care pathways to services that deliver the greatest value (cost and outcome) to service users and the system as a whole; * Incentivise the delivery partner to co-ordinate services around the needs of service users; and * Support collaboration with and between other providers involved in the delivery of services * Offer an embedded early intervention, case finding and case management service * Make best use of existing NHS provision prior to CHC eligibility determination, or in partnership with CHC funding make best use of all resources in the management of long term needs. Full details have been provided in the attachment "Market testing statement - Integrated NHS Continuing Healthcare Service singular delivery partner". The CCGs would like to invite suppliers to express an interest by completing the attached Expression of Interest form and emailing to NELCSU.ProcurementNorthants@nhs.net by no later than close of play on Friday 12th October 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9513bfc4-f8e1-4fe6-9a73-530b748649be | | 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 | 27 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Oct 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | N E L 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 - 27 Sep 2018 at 14:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9513bfc4-f8e1-4fe6-9a73-530b748649be ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9513bfc4-f8e1-4fe6-9a73-530b748649be 27th September 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3dcfaab9-e98e-4457-a639-606395cb98e7 Market Testing Statement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/13a593d4-6009-47a9-8552-6868830662ae Expression of Interest form ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
