Integrated Care Partnership for the Western Locality of NEW Devon

Tender description

Following extensive design and consultation work, NEW Devon CCG (the Commissioners) are launching a formal market engagement process to inform the commissioning of an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP), for services for adults and older people in the Western Locality of Devon In 2014, Plymouth's Health and Wellbeing Board articulated a vision based around three pillars of integration: • Integrated Commissioning • Integrated Health and Care Services • Integrated System of Health and Wellbeing In 2015, Plymouth took the first step in delivering Integrated Health and Social Care Services by transferring the Council's Adult Social Care service to create an Integrated Community Health and Social Care provider. Whilst progress has been made in integrating care between organisations, Plymouth's Health and Wellbeing system still faces significant demand challenges and service users still feedback that care is fragmented with multiple handovers between teams. In response to this case for change, commissioners developed Plymouth's Strategic Health and Wellbeing System Commissioning Intentions 2018-20. This articulates the need to take the next step towards an Integrated Health and Care service. Commissioners are therefore seeking to commission an ICP for adults and older people to bring together Community Health, Adult Social Care, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services to be delivered in line with the Devon STP blueprint for Integrated Care. As a minimum, ICP will be commissioned to deliver the following services: • Community Health • Adult Social Care • Mental Health • Learning Disability The CCG is also exploring, with NHS England, the inclusion of a second lot in this procurement for provision of primary medical services for the Mayflower Practice, Plymouth. Inclusion of this will provide opportunities for increased integration with primary care. For further details please refer to the Strategic Commissioning Intentions for the Plymouth Health and Wellbeing system 2018-20 and the Integrated Care Model blueprint. This is available at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home. The maximum annual value is expected to be in the region of £76,500,000 per annum, although this is subject to change. It is anticipated that any contract is expected to be for an initial period of 10 years, with options to extend the initial period by any period or periods up to a maximum of a further 5 years.
