Three draft specifications are attached to this advert that collectively make up the draft requirements that the CCG will be seeking to award a contract for, from 1 April 2020. Please note these specifications are still draft and in outline and the CCG is inviting feedback at this early stage in order to ensure high quality community services are developed for Medway. The three specifications are: 1. Outline Overarching Generic specification 2. Outline Core Functions specification 3. Outline Specialist Functions specification Once you have read all three, please complete the attach RFI questionnaire and return to alice.donovan-hart@nhs.net by midday, Friday 7th September This is an optional process and interested Providers are not obliged to respond.
