The CCG currently has a contract in place with Greenbrook Healthcare (Hounslow) Ltd to provide the above services. The term of this contract is 6 months, 1st October 2021 - 31st March 2022 (value: £659,883.5) during which time, the CCG will assess the needs of the service users and consider how (if relevant) it needs to:
-Secure the needs of the people who use the services.
-Improve the quality of the services.
-Improve the efficiency in the provision of the services including through the services being provided in an integrated way.
NWL CCG is considering options for making future arrangements for these services beyond March 2022 which may involve looking to tender the opportunity in the future. Any capable provider may come forward by 3rd March 2022 to engage with the CCG.
If it is the case that Greenbrook Healthcare is the only provider capable of delivering the services across the 38 sites, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to Greenbrook Healthcare for up to 2 years beyond 1st April 2022.
During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
