The above services are part of a number of intermediate care services available to patients, currently being delivered by various providers. NHS England has made a commitment to developing a coherent 24/7 urgent care service in every area of England that makes sense to patients when having to make choices about care and to drive the integration of services. It also committed to the provision of integrated NHS services seven days a week in order that patients experience genuine seven day care. It is expected that better integration will be delivered through: - Improved communications within and between service providers; - Improved coordination of services; - Reduced duplication of services and activities. A draft Memorandum of Information (MoI) and current service specification are available for review, being attached to this Notice for download. An engagement questionnaire has also been developed to capture input from providers to help inform the CCG’s key decisions around these services. You are invited to respond to the questionnaire and return to us by the deadline below. The current contract value relating to the above services is expected to total circa £22,700,000 over the life of the contract. If the CCG decides to undertake a formal procurement process then this is anticipated to commence in February 2016 through a notice on Contracts Finder, with the intention to have a contract(s) awarded by the end of April 2016 and for services to commence in July 2016. The integrated CIS will commence in July 2016, other services may follow later in the contract. \*\*\*Providers are invited to express their interest in the early engagement via emailing the completed questionnaire to THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is 25th JANUARY 2016.\*\*\* Additional information: Note: An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in any subsequent procurement process, nor does it infer any special status on those providers who do submit an interest. Neither will this notice or any organisation’s expression of interest commit the CCG to undertake any procurement of the Community Independence Service or other Intermediate Care services & the CCG has a right to withdraw the notice. The CCG’s ambition is to combine services across geographies to improve lives and make public funds go further for the people we serve. In common with the rest of England, they are experiencing an unprecedented period of growing demands on current services, with limited resources to meet these demands.
