NCL ICB Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Provider Framework

Tender description

NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) is establishing a framework list of providers to deliver high-quality Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services. The aim of this framework is to ensure that NCL has a cohort of providers able to deliver effective PBS, which improves outcomes and quality of life for people with a learning disability and behaviours of concern. Effective PBS can lead to improved outcomes, reduced incidents of crisis, decreased use of restraint, fewer breakdowns in community placements and less inappropriate hospital admissions. The framework will implement: • Minimum PBS quality standards and service activities to improve the quality of PBS in the sector • Standardised contract monitoring • A set range of payment rates for PBS packages The framework list will be the mechanism for the call-off of individual packages of care and the award of individual PBS Service User Placement Agreement (SUPA) contracts by NCL ICB. NCL Local Authorities also have the option to commission individual packages of care from this framework list if they choose. NCL Local Authorities will follow their own local procedures for the issuing of contracts related to individual packages of care.
