Description
This procurement references the service and quality indicators expected by NHS England (the Commissioner) from the Child Health Information Service (CHIS) (the Service,) to ensure that a high standard of service is provided to NHS England's responsible population.
The service specification is not designed to replicate, duplicate, or supersede any relevant legislative provisions which may apply, e.g. the Health and Social Care Act 2012, or the work undertaken by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). In the event of new guidance emerging, the specification will be reviewed and amended as quickly as possible, but, where necessary, both the Commissioner and the Provider will work proactively to agree speedy variations of contract ahead of a revised specification being produced.
Current immunisation, screening and other public health programmes may be subject to nationally prescribed changes in response to recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UKNSC) or the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as advancements in evidence-based practice emerge. The Service and its associated IT System is expected to have the capability to adapt promptly to, and implement, such prescribed changes.
The Provider will not subcontract any element of the Service without the prior permission of the Commissioner.
Contract Length and value. The contract for the Service is 5 years 01.04.24 -31/03/29 with an option to extend for a further two years.
