Description
NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) is looking to procure a digitalised Continuing Healthcare (CHC) end-to-end person management digital system, where information seamlessly flows between processes by connecting the entire lifecycle into one platform. The system needs to facilitate the services to deliver enhanced transformation across all spectrums of the service.
Somerset's CHC Service provides high quality, safe care to Somerset's most vulnerable Adults and Children, and currently has a combined active caseload of around 1,400 individuals. The ICB is seeking an efficient and effective digital system to manage the caseload and the inherent complexities associated with the services.
One of the key requirements for a new system will be the need for it to be sufficiently flexible to support a wide range of services outside the traditional CHC / Funded Nursing Care (FNC) / Fast Track (FT) / Continuing Care (CC) agenda. Service wide transformation will be implemented across all areas including clinical, business, performance, finance and contracting and commissioning.
Enabling better integration between systems across Health and Social Care is also critical. CHC is a unique service as it covers and links many elements of the health and social care system. Therefore, interoperability is of paramount importance, allowing for the CHC service and wider Health and Social Care teams to share and view records. This will support improved accessibility and visibility of data which in turn will enable more efficient and streamlined workflows for all teams and a better person experience.
The Commissioner has a maximum financial envelope available of £200,000 per annum, including VAT. The total maximum contract value for the 3-year Contract is £600,000 and including VAT. At the end of the initial contract term the Commissioner will have an extension option for a further 1 year (1 x 12 month) period available which will be awarded at their discretion, giving a maximum possible contract value of £800,000 inclusive of VAT, over 4 years if the full contract term is fulfilled.
This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board.
