This engagement aims to understand the interest and capability of organisations in providing CHC and related services such as Funded Nursing Care Assessment and Review. Interested parties are requested to submit their responses by 21st June 2017, before 12:00 midday. The services fall under the healthcare category and will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit, located in Bristol. This procurement opportunity is particularly suited for healthcare service providers, including organisations specialising in continuing healthcare, case management, and nursing care services. It offers a chance for qualified and competent businesses to engage with the NHS and potentially secure a contract for delivering vital health services. Firms with experience in healthcare compliance and service delivery will find this an opportune moment to demonstrate their capabilities and establish collaborations within the NHS framework. ## Notice NHS Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group is exploring options on how to re-commission Continuing Healthcare services (CHC), including but not limited to CHC, Funded Nursing Care (FNC) Assessment and Review and Case Management. The Commissioner is also exploring the inclusion of Brokerage as a possible future function within the service. In order to inform the commissioning process, commissioners are looking to establish what interest there might be in providing such a service from suitably qualified, capable and competent organisations. Interested parties are asked to complete and return the attached provider sounding questionnaire by the return date of 21st June 2017 at 12:00 midday to the following email address: scwcsu.procurement@nhs.net Please note this Early Engagement Notice has been issued purely to gauge potential interest in the service, and does not currently form part of any formal procurement process. Interested parties should note that a response to this Notice does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course. Additional information: The Services are healthcare services within the meaning and scope of Annex XIV of Directive 2014/24/EU ("the Directive") and Schedule 3 to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations").
