NHS BNSSG - Interim Integrated Care at Home Services

Description

NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board's (the Commissioner) is commissioning Interim Integrated Care at Home (IC@H) Services.
The service will develop, operate and evaluate Interim IC@H services in three localities of BNSSG over a period of 2 years. 
Interim IC@H services are a multi-agency approach across health, social care and VCSE partners in BNSSG, focused on people at risk of a deterioration in their health and independence that may lead to hospital admission or use of long-term care in the next 12 months. 
As part of our emerging local approach to neighbourhood health and care, the ICB intends to procure interim IC@H services through a single contract with a lead provider who can act as a strategic partner. The lead provider will lead and coordinate work to develop integrated systems, processes and workforce models across system partners in the three 'early implementer' localities. 
The geographical scope of this contract covers three 'early implementer' localities: South Gloucestershire, South Bristol and Weston, Worle and Villages.
To deliver this contract, the provider must have access to the BNSSG registered general practice list and case records and be able to develop an integrated approach across existing health, social care and VCSE services in BNSSG.   
The maximum contract value is a total of £4.6m for the initial 2-year contract term. The annual budget for 2025/26, 2026/27 and 2027/28 will reflect the phased implementation schedule for the three early implementer localities.
Delivery of interim IC@H services is expected to allow the ICB to test whether the model can be scaled as part of our wider approach to developing neighbourhood health and care. 
The deadline for ITT responses is 12:00 on 8th October 2025. The contract is expected to commence in December 2025 and end in November 2027. 
This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
