Description
Notice of Market Engagement Event.
Barnet Borough, North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) wish to
commission an integrated wheelchair service for people of all ages who have a long-term
need (longer than 6 months, or life expectancy of less than 6 months) for mobility assistance
and who are registered with a Barnet GP practice.
As of 1st January 2023, there are 50 GP practices in Barnet, with a total registered
population of ~440,000. Of which there are approximately 3,300 registered service users of
the current Barnet wheelchair service (~3,000 adults and ~300 children)
Barnet Borough envisage that the service will provide a care model for wheelchair users
which supports delivery of the Wheelchair Alliance Charter in helping those with complex,
long-term conditions access the right chair, right time, right now, and with appropriate
information and support.
All service users must be offered a Personal Wheelchair Budget, with the exception of where
a service user has rapidly changing and deteriorating conditions.
The service shall be provided in the most appropriate environment in order to best address
the disabled person/child's needs. This should include the full range of community settings,
such as home, education, place of employment, in addition to a wheelchair clinic. However,the service will maintain a hub in Barnet.
The service must operate Monday to Friday between 8.00am to 6.00pm, exclusive of Bank
Holidays, though flexibility around assessment times is considered where requested. The
service will also be expected to operate until 8.00pm at least two evenings per week and for
4 hours on Saturday morning to accommodate the needs of users or carers who require
appointments at these times.
Repairs services will operate an Out of Hours emergency facility outside of core weekday
hours between 7:00am and 9.00am and 5.00pm and 11.00pm. The weekend emergency
cover must operate between the hours of 7:00am and 11.00pm, inclusive of Bank Holidays.
