Tender description

NHS Southwark CCG's current Extended Primary Care Services in Care Homes contract which provides a medical model to nursing homes is due to expire in May 2018, and as part of this re-procurement, the CCG will also be seeking to understand how we might use the experience we have gained from having these services in place to extend the service offer more widely.

The aim of the procurement is to: • provide high quality care for residents of care homes with nursing beds through high quality care services supported by a multi-disciplinary team approach, • to provide a proactive clinical leadership to support services both provided by and provided to the home; • to review the needs of residents of CQC registered homes and the model of service provision required within identified resources. It is intended that a procurement process will commence in January 2018 with a view for the services to commence in May 2018. The Market Engagement Event will take place on: Thursday 21st December from 9:00am - 11.00am at: NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group 160 Tooley Street London SE1 2QH This is a free event hosted by NHS Southwark CCG and open to all potential service providers and partners.
