Description
South East London Clinical Commissioning Group (SEL CCG) seeks to procure a Post Covid Rehabilitation service from a single provider, for a one year period. This service will be for the residents of the London Borough of Bexley and the Royal London Borough of Greenwich who have had Covid for more than 12 weeks and who are still not recovered.
It is currently estimated that for patients who have had COVID between 5 to 2.5% will go on to develop post COVID /long COVID syndrome dependent on the sources of research.
For some of these patients this will be linked to discharge from an inpatient stay in the acute services following a certain level of severity to COVID. For other patients the prolonged conditions may occur after they have felt recovered from the symptoms of COVID.
The overall aim of the service is to support patients who continue to have post-COVID symptoms of breathlessness, fatigue and muscle pain to better understand and manage these symptoms and enhance a functional recovery.
The Small Medium Size (SME) Provider will need to demonstrate a proven track record of delivering a post covid rehabilitation in South East London, for supporting patients with the following:
• To understand why they still feel symptoms
• To be able to recognise and optimise their pattern/rate of breathing.
• To manage activity levels and stabilise their fatigue.
• To recognise if they need further help with psychological support
• To support the patient through rehabilitation to move on a journey closer to fitness levels pre-COVID
The service must be delivered as either a virtual or face to face class (or a combination), for 1.5 hours per week, over an 8 week period. Where classes are delivered face to face, this must be in a convenient, accessible location within the London Borough of Bexley, with parking available and good transport links.
The key outcomes to be demonstrated improvements in the following:
• Breathing pattern disorder
• Hyperventilation
• Fatigue severity scale
• Anxiety
• Depression
Proposed total duration of contract:
1 year + optional 1 year
Proposed contract value:
Cost and Volume - £128,000 per annum - this is £1,600 per patient (maximum 80 patients unless an increase is agreed during the contract by the Commissioner
This opportunity is restricted to Small Medium Size (SME) providers.
