Approach to market date is 30 June 2017Battersea Healthcare CIC (BHCIC) has been appointed by Wandsworth CCG as the Multiple Specialty Community Provider (MCP) to act as lead provider for a range of local health services.A new service has been piloted for the last 2 years which is about to be awarded by the BHCIC as a substantive contract following the successful outcomes being achieved by the pilot service. The new contract is likely to be for 4 years, with the potential to be extended for a further 3 years after that.Whilst the pilot service has been successfully delivered by a local voluntary sector provider offering very good value for money within a challenged financial budget, the BHCIC now wishes to understand if there is any additional interest is delivering the service which will provide a “stable” contact point for patients and Health Care Professionals (HCPs) within Wandsworth, whilst contributing to, adapting to and incorporating changes to processes and pathways as the system changes. The oversight to be provided through this service will maximise the use of commissioned services across the system to support quality patient care and improve outcomes for individuals and the system as a whole.Please see the attached DRAFT service specification for further information about the End of Life Coordination Service.This is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly.
