Description

NHS Brent CCG requires a provider of outpatient Cardiology in a community setting with the ability to do evening and weekend clinics. The Service will provide a Service User-centered model of care from the Provider premises. It will provide clear improvements to the patient experience, Service User safety and clinical outcomes. The Service will integrate effectively with the Brent Health Economy, and the Commissioner expects the Service Users' pathway to be seamless. This includes integrating with other Providers in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Care to reduce the risk of duplication or discontinuity of services.
Whilst the present service has been successfully delivered offering good value for money, NHS Brent CCG now wishes to understand if there is any additional interest in delivering the Community Cardiology Service providing out-of-hospital experience and outcomes to our patients at locally agreed tariffs with the addition of evening and weekend clinics. NHS Brent CCG is therefore looking for available alternative options to the current service provision, but with extended access.
Please see the attached DRAFT service specification for further information about the Community Cardiology Service.
It is intended that the contract to be offered is for 3 years, with the CCG reserving the right to extend this for up to a further 2 years.
