NHS Wakefield CCG Low Vision Community Service AQP

Tender description

In securing services from AQP Providers, NHS Wakefield CCG requires assurance of competence, quality and safety standards, just as it would for services secured under a formal tender process. Any provider will be eligible to apply for this AQP subject to demonstrating compliance and competency against the specified criteria outlined in the specification. The successful provider(s) will deliver a low vision aid service to patients registered with a NHS Wakefield CCG GP Practice. The Provider (s) must also ensure the services delivered are located within the boundaries of Wakefield District and accessible to patients registered with Wakefield GPs. If more than one provider is successful it will be a contract obligation as service providers to meet quarterly as part of a clinical network to discuss operational issues and work towards continuous improvements to patient pathways and patient experience. The successful provider(s) will be expected to sign the standard NHS contract, accepting all terms and conditions. It should be noted that under the Any Qualified Provider model, there will be no guarantees of volume or payment in the contracts awarded. Organisations will be asked to complete an on line qualification questionnaire. NHS Wakefield CCG is seeking providers who can provide low vision aid delivered in community settings within the boundaries of Wakefield District for access to Wakefield patients.
