This facility will be introduced to 43 residential and nursing homes across the geography covered by the CWHHE CCGs, with a phased implementation over the three years of the programme. If the service is successful, the CCGs reserve the right to extend the provision to include residential and nursing homes and patients and carers living outside care homes in the NHS Brent CCG, NHS Harrow CCG and NHS Hillingdon CCG areas. Bidders should be able to demonstrate relevant experience of delivering comparable services, and be able to evidence the capacity and workforce in place to commence provision quickly, providing immediate advice and reassurance to both clinical and non-clinical staff and if necessary, to plan for local onward referral. If successful, the service may extend to cover additional care homes in Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon CCGs as well as patients and carers living outside of nursing and residential homes in further phases. Therefore, the CCGs will work with the provider over the course of the contract to seek to increase the breadth and value of the contract to improve care for people across North West London as part of the wider Last Phase of Life Programme. It is expected that the programme will be part of the End of Life Care Incubator, which offers support from Social Finance and a dedicated EOLC Incubator Advisory Board, opportunities for sharing learning with other similar UK projects, and access to funding from the Care and Wellbeing Fund, a social investment fund that supports community-based models of health and social care. Providers will be expected to work collaboratively with the EOLC Incubator and Care and Wellbeing Fund. Additional information: The CCG anticipates awarding a 3 year contract with the option to extend for a further 2 years at their discretion. The anticipated annual contract value is £400,000 - £7,900,000 (subject to expansion of the programme and additional investment being agreed by the CCG). It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded during April 2017, working towards full service commencement from 31st May 2017. \*\*\* Potential bidders, intending to participate through the procurement process are now invited to register an interest and access the procurement documents (service specification, bidder instructions, bidder application questionnaire, etc.) via the electronic procurement portal EU-Supply available at [nhssbs.eu-supply.com](https://nhssbs.eu-supply.com).
