Description

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS Lincolnshire ICB invited suitably qualified providers to deliver their Homecare Services.

NHS Lincolnshire ICB serve a registered population of approximately 810,000 people. The demographic changes within the UK suggest that as people benefit from longer lives their need for NHS continuing health care (CHC) funding may increase due to associated co-morbidities. The purpose of the specification was to enable the ICB to commission quality care in a timely way and at a value that is clearly understood for patients within the scope of All Age Continuing Care (AACC) services arranged by the ICB for individuals whose care needs are met in their home. This includes individuals who require palliative and end of life care who are eligible for AACC.

This service was for the care for individuals over the age of 18yrs in receipt of standard or Fast Track CHC funding for whom NHS Lincolnshire ICB are the responsible commissioner.  It specifies the services were to be delivered by providers. 

This requirement sets out predetermined, common quality and cost requirements to be delivered by all providers across all zones. 

The preferred delivery vehicle for CHC funded home care is via a personal health budget as mandated by NHSE/I. The delivery vehicle may be via a:
•	notional budget, 
•	third party budget
•	or direct payment budget.

The ICB work in partnership with the provider responsible for each zone in respect of extremely complex cases to ensure that the individuals needs are safely met.

The service aims are to deliver:
•	Improved responsiveness to requests for care for CHC patients from home care providers in each zone. 
•	Improved quality of the care commissioned by the ICB
•	High quality provision of treatment, management, and support to enable individuals to remain in their home setting. 
•	Personalised care based on the level of need 
•	Care in line with NICE recommendation
•	A consistent approach to the brokerage of care packages. The ICB may commission very complex packages from a specialist service should the need arise.

There were 7 lots/zones where the Bidders had the option to bid for one, all or any combination of the zones (bidder are awarded a maximum of 3 zones). The Zones were set out in the tender documentation, with maps and indicative activity. The activity is paid based on tariffs as details in the tender documentation. The duration of the contract is 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years.

Providers bid via EU Supply under Quote/tender 59519 - Homecare Services in Lincolnshire.

Prison Democratic Therapeutic Communities – Integrated Quality Audit Processes

Democratic Therapeutic Communities (DTCs) in His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) including Therapeutic Communities Plus (TC+) for offenders with Learning Disabilities (LD) are a recognised offending behaviour programme designed with the aim of reducing reoffending, some having been in existence within the prison system for more than 50 years. They form part of the National Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway, jointly commissioned between HMPPS and NHS England, offering a pathway of interventions for male and female offenders with complex needs. There are currently 14 DTCs operating in the Prison Service; 11 of these delivering the DTC core model within five establishments; and three delivering the TC+ model. DTCs in prisons aim to reduce re-offending through challenging offence-related risk factors. They address the interpersonal problems, attitudes, thinking and emotions of offenders and aim to engage in treatment those who also have additional emotional and psychological needs. DTCs can provide intervention for offenders with impaired psychological functioning and seek to engage offenders who may not be suitable to undertake other accredited Offending Behaviour Programmes. They are an intensive intervention - prisoners will be expected to remain in therapy for at least 18 months and more likely for two years. Therefore, places in DTCs are normally reserved for offenders serving longer sentences, who have a higher likelihood of re-offending, or who are judged to present a high risk of harm to others. DTCs have a strong evidence base underpinning their theoretical model of change that should be delivered in accordance with a set of manuals which have been accredited by the Correctional Services Accreditation Panel (CSAAP). The prison DTCs participate in a mandatory integrated standards-based process of quality assurance processes. These processes require continued development to ensure an effective and appropriate means of measuring the therapeutic environment and the quality of the therapy delivered. The MoJ requires a Supplier to design, develop, deliver and review an integrated standards-based audit and quality improvement process for all DTCs in HMPPS including TC+. The service is to be delivered incorporating a full clinical audit, using specialist auditors, within each cycle that measures each DTC’s compliance with the detailed and accredited operating models for reducing reoffending. This review process will provide a measure of the quality of the intervention as a DTC and its clinical integrity; additionally, it will provide an assessment of clinical performance and report to the Correctional Services Accreditation and Advice Panel (CSAAP) in line with accreditation requirements. The Supplier must also be able to provide avenues for shared learning for all HMPPS DTCs, support their overall development, provide workforce development opportunities for training and improvements in the clinical skills and knowledge of DTC staff and facilitate access to relevant knowledge and learning opportunities. Critically, the clinical evaluation and quality improvement processes will need to be delivered through a methodology that is in keeping with the philosophy and values of the DTC model and will support the specific therapeutic and clinical requirements of its operation.

SWE10562: Provision of Medical Assessment Services

As part of its statutory duty to investigate concerns about the fitness to practise of social workers, Social Work England may, where appropriate, require registrants to undergo a medical assessment, particularly in cases where concerns relate to a registrant's mental or physical health. As Social Work England does not possess the internal capacity to deliver these specialist services, it is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Service Provider to work in partnership to deliver a high-quality and robust Medical Assessment Service. The appointed provider will be responsible for conducting comprehensive medical assessments and producing clear, quantifiable, evidence-based reports that determine whether a registrant's mental and/or physical health may be impaired to the extent that it could affect their fitness to practise. Experts may also be required, when necessary, to provide witness testimony in fitness to practise hearings.
