Description

Technology Enabled, Paediatric Nutrition, Prescribing Support Dietetic Service (The Service) required for the management of infants with Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) who are registered with GPs practices in Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group and any other associated services which are to be formally procured from the Provider.

This service is being commissioned as a 12-month pilot to test whether The Service will improve patient care and generate sufficient prescribing savings to return the invested expenditure.

This specification will form the basis of the final specification that will be drawn up as part of finalising the contract between the Commissioner and the successful Bidder. This document does not focus on the contractual issues and clauses with which any Provider of the services specified shall comply (these are contained within the Contract document itself, along with associated schedules.

The Commissioner is seeking a Provider to deliver the Service in a flexible and responsive manner with a particular focus on rapid-access dietetic support at diagnosis, provision of information and support to the infants families and to the multidisciplinary team (MDT), and the cost-effective prescribing of infant formula for CMPA taking into account the needs of the infants and their families. The Commissioner wishes to work with a Provider who will deliver a high-quality Service and who will play a proactive role in delivering care in innovative ways, for example delivering care closer to patients' homes and/or utilising secure, IG compliant technology to support remote care with minimal disruption to the lives of the affected families.
