Description

Northumberland County Council (for its own benefit and for the benefit of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust) is seeking to commission a "person-centred care information system" to support a range of activities including the Council's statutory adult social care functions and related functions of local NHS organisations.

A core element of the requirement is support for the statutory assessment, care and support planning and commissioning functions of the Council as a social services Authority, most of which are carried out by staff employed by Northumbria Healthcare NHS FT under a partnership agreement.

Further details of the Contracting Authority's requirements under the Contract and other relevant information are detailed in the Specification at Schedule 2.

Northumberland County Council is simultaneously establishing a framework for consultancy services under which the successful supplier for the above core services is also to be the sole supplier. This is to enable Northumberland Council, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and/or their respective Affiliates to enter into Call-Off Contracts for consultancy services with the successful supplier, having already met relevant procurement requirements. There is no obligation on Northumberland County Council or the supplier to enter into any particular Call-Off Contract, or any minimum volume of Call-Off Contracts.
