## Notice

CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. * Any responses and information that are shared through this pre-market engagement exercise may be used by the ICB to inform commissioning and potential procurement strategies. SERVICE SUMMARY NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (SWL ICB) is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform the potential commissioning of a targeted End of Life Home Care provision service in Croydon. The proposed service brings together two current services - Planned Variable Palliative Support, including planned overnight care and the End of Life Carer Respite Service - into a single integrated service for Croydon, delivered by one provider through a single point of access. The model is designed to reduce the risk of carer breakdown and crisis, enable more people to be cared for at home where that is their preference, and to reduce avoidable hospital admissions by providing timely respite for carers and planned palliative support for patients who may live alone. The service is activity based with demand and associated costs reviewed annually, to ensure service delivery meets local requirements and robust triage processes are embedded. The total indicative financial envelope for this service is approximately PS272,000 per annum. Further detail regarding the proposed cohorts, delivery model and outcomes framework is set out in the Draft Service Specification provided in Appendix A. Please submit your response by no later than 06 July 2026 at 12:00 (mid-day GMT).

Commissioners recognise that the multi-component nature of this service may be well suited to partnership or consortium delivery; therefore, providers are invited to indicate whether they consent to their details being shared with other registered organisations to facilitate discussions on potential partnership opportunities.
