The model, & services provided through it, would operate in the London Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea & Westminster (the Bi-Borough). This is a potentially important development in the Bi-Borough Placed Based Partnership, aimed at giving the voluntary & community sector a greater role in meeting local needs, & improving health outcomes, via an asset-based approach. Details of the contract are only estimated at this stage & are subject to NHS NW London approving a business case. However, if a strategic partner approach is adopted, the planned contract commencement would be 1st April 2023 with mobilisation from December 2022 & January 2023. It is also likely that the contract will be a long-term arrangement (3 years+), &, based on the value of current contracts, between £600,000 & £1,400,000 per year. The purpose of this PIN is to invite interested providers to an online engagement event in late August / early September 2022 to introduce the likely delivery requirements, & invite a two way conversation to develop ideas on the design & delivery of the proposed approach.
