National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

Description

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), in collaboration with the National Collaborative Commissioning Unit (NCCU) and on behalf of the Local Health Boards in Wales and the contracting authority for the Isle of Man, will be undertaking a refresh of the National Collaborative Framework Agreement for Adult Mental Health and Learning Disability Hospitals, as well as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
This refresh presents an opportunity for interested providers to submit a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) as part of the application process to join the Framework Agreement.
In addition, current Framework providers will have the opportunity to update their existing Lot service provisions, either by adding new services or amending existing ones, and to revise pricing (downwards only) where applicable.
The primary objectives of this refresh process are:
- Developing and establishing a framework consisting of suitably qualified, financially robust Service Providers to meet quality, service, and cost criteria.
- Ensuring consistent, high-quality Service provision and improved patient outcomes are achieved and maintained.
- Establishing key performance indicators, performance monitoring/outcome measures, access to management information, and provision of clear and consistent patient-level data.
- Applying patient-focused outcomes in accordance with the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010.
- Improving community safety and reduction of risk, ensuring absolute compliance with legal requirements applicable to patients/patient rights
- Establishing standard contract terms/conditions and a transparent pricing framework
