AQP Supported Accommodation to NHS Nene CCG & NHS Corby CGG

Tender description

NHS Nene and NHS Corby Clinical Commissioning Groups require high quality supported accommodation healthcare services for appropriately assessed service users of Northamptonshire. We plan to implement these new contracts from October 2014. Please note that under ‘Any Qualified Provider’ contracts there will be no guarantees of volume in the contracts awarded. Further, prices (e.g. hourly rates) are set. NHS Nene and NHS Corby Clinical Commissioning Groups are seeking to encourage the provision of flexible and responsive Supported Accommodation services as alternatives to clinical services. The growth in the numbers and range of Supported Accommodation providers we have seen over the past 3 years has indicated the need to contractually manage this environment for quality and outcomes as well as ensuring the spend associated with this type of service is cost effective and value for money. NHS Nene and NHS Corby are therefore conducting a re-procurement of an AQP process for the provision of Supported Accommodation. Providers should read the Qualification Information document and all other supporting documents, available for download on Bravo, prior to filling out the Bravo application form, paying attention to the guidance therein. The Bravo Messaging system for questions from Applicants will close on Thursday 26 June 2014 at 12 noon, allowing time for answers to be posted and applicants to complete their applications by the reply by date of Wednesday 09 July 2014 at 12 noon. If Applicants are asked Clarification Questions during the Evaluation Stages, they have 48 hours in which to respond. Please ensure that you have staff available to answer the questions, which will be sent to you by email. Failure to respond in the given time could adversely impact your application.
