The current draft outline service specification has been published together with this advertisement for further details on the CCG's requirements. The AQP is in place to provide a consistent approach for CCGs to manage the market for care home beds providing a price which is fair and equitable, allowing for a more sustainable provision both financially and non-financially including quality of provision. NHS CHC refers to a package of on-going care that is arranged and funded by the NHS where a person has a "primary health need" - this care takes the form of a care home placement. Individuals are assessed according to their needs (not on their condition or diagnosis) and if eligible the NHS fund all of the health and 'social care'/personal care costs. London CCGs use an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) Framework to place individuals eligible for continuing healthcare who have standard Continuing Healthcare needs. The Framework does not cover specialist providers. The Framework has been successful in delivering improvements in quality and achieving savings for standard CHC packages of care. The AQP Framework is supported by an online quality monitoring and capacity management system (CMS). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010439-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH EAST LONDON CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 2TZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75100000 - Administration services ## Release History - 12 May 2021 at 13:48 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010439-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://forms.office.com/r/zqbcAczWxi - https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
