PRJ 1175 Request for Quotation (RfQ) for the provision social prescribing service in the London Borough of Bexley. South East London Integrated Care System is seeking to procure a Social Prescribing Service for the Bexley area. Social prescribing is a key connector within the local health and care system, bringing together the voluntary sector, primary care, social care, and the community. To do this effectively and sustainably, the Local Care Partnership has determined that a voluntary sector organisation is best placed to deliver social prescribing. A healthy and supported voluntary sector is necessary for social prescribing to function effectively and so it is vital that the provider understands the sector and the challenges faced by Voluntary Sector Organisations (VSOs) of all sizes. The successful provider will work closely with the council, ICB, Primary Care, and other local partners to achieve the following outcomes: 1. Bexley residents are supported to maintain healthy and productive lives in their own homes and family/community support networks, through: • assistance with recovery from adverse events, ill health, or injury • enhanced quality of life for people with long-term conditions • improved resilience • reduced social isolation • delay or prevention in the development of long-term or life-limiting conditions • prevention of premature mortality. 2. The local health economy in Bexley benefits from: • a reduction in unnecessary appointments through the facilitation of self-care • more appropriate use of Health and Social Care services including Primary Care, Secondary Care, Acute NHS Services and Ambulatory Services • Improved access for primary care clinicians to refer to Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services through Social Prescribers 3. The local voluntary sector is supported to meet the needs of Bexley residents effectively through: • Increased intelligence available to commissioners and other relevant officers within the ICB and Council • Identification of gaps or capacity issues within the sector • Effectively sharing patient referrals across the sector to support the sustainability of individual organisations and avoid overwhelming the system The successful provider and its partners will demonstrate that these outcomes above have been delivered as a result of this contract.

NHS North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB), hereafter referred to as the Authority is seeking to commission NCL 111 Integrated Urgent Care Service and invites suitably qualified providers to submit their tenders. NCL ICB is responsible for allocating NHS budget and commissioning services. ICBs are a key change in the Health and Care Act, and have replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups 'CCGs'. These changes came into effect on 1 July 2022 More information about NCL ICB can be found using the following link. https://nclhealthandcare.org.uk/icb/north-central-london-integrated-care-board/ In 2015/16 NCL CCGs collaborated to commission a combined GP out-of-hours (OOH) and NHS 111 service across NCL. The contract was set against a local specification that patients helped to develop but, since 2018, the service model has evolved in order to meet demand and align with national requirements. The aim of the new NHS 111 IUC model across NCL is to be in line with national guidance and standards, with residents receiving high-quality complete episodes of care with an outcome such as, but not limited to:- • Consult and complete model with broader use of clinical skill • Advice and self-care • A face-to-face or virtual appointment for further assessment in a primary or urgent or emergency care setting • Repeat prescriptions • A multi-provider system working together to ensure patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time • Current key performance indicators improved and maintained • Affordable and sustainable 111 IUC model. Additional information: This Procurement is divided into three Lots • Lot 1 - 111 call handling • Lot 2 - Clinical Assessment Service (CAS) • Lot 3 - GP out-of-hours (GP OOH) service The Authority invites bids that offer to provide services for all the above Lots (1, 2, and 3) in an integrated manner based on the Prime Provider model. Any Bid that does not cover all the above three Lots will be rejected. Following the evaluation process, the successful Bidder will be awarded a contract covering all three Lots. A bid will be considered for award only if in addition to the other requirements of the ITT, it meets the requirements for all the Lots. A 'fail' in any of the Lots will mean the whole bid is eliminated. The contract will be awarded for an initial period of three years followed by an optional extension of up to two years solely at the discretion of NCL ICB. Therefore, the maximum contract term is 5 years. Maximum price limits for the contract are as follows. Annual contract value = £19,114,968 Contract value over 3 years= £ 57,344,906 Contract value over 5 years= £ 95,574,843 NB: the contract value includes the provision for the category 3 and 4 validation. However, this element is currently being piloted with LAS and following evaluation, the ICB may withdraw this element of the service and therefore the financial value will be deducted. This means the overall NCL NHS 111 IUC financial annual value will be reduced from £19,605k to £19,045k (excludes any uplifts for inflation, growth, etc.) The services in the scope of this procurement fall within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") and therefore the procurement is not subject to the full regime of the Regulations but is instead governed by what is commonly referred to as the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). The use of any language or terms found in the Regulations, the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority, or any other indication, shall not be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Regulations, save those applicable to services coming within the scope of Regulations 74 to 77.

NHS South East London (SEL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) (hereafter referred to as the "The ICB"), under delegated commissioning on behalf of NHS England (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") invites Healthcare providers to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) and completed Invitation to Tender (ITT) submissions from all suitable providers for the delivery of GP Primary Medical Services and additional services under Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) Contracts delivered directly to nursing home residents, residential care home residents and extra care housing tenants across the Lewisham Borough. Background of the service: There are currently 15 Older Peoples Care Homes within the London Borough of Lewisham with 599 beds. There are also 5 Extra Care Housing facilities that have 161 Beds. These Homes have been supported by Primary Care through the following means: • Core GP services through registration at local GP Practices • An Enhanced Primary Care Support to Care Homes contract, currently held by the Lewisham GP Federation • The 2020/2021 PCN Network DES additionally introduced new support for Care Homes from PCNs Some of the service requirements published in the PCN Network DES duplicated the requirements in the local contract. As a result, a revised specification has been developed to remove this duplication and update the service model to reflect the new Enhanced Health in Care Homes Framework, working through a single contract and provider. This new APMS primary care contract will provide core General Medical Services together with an enhanced service specification of medical support for nursing home residents, residential care home residents and extra care housing tenants.

If all available extension is taken up in full the contract will have a maximum duration of 15 years (180 months). The indicative annual contract value for this service is £559,240 per annum. Over the 15 years, if contract is extended to its full duration, the total indicative maximum contract value will be £8,388,600. The indicated contract value shown is dependent on the number of patient registrations and the maximum bed capacity/occupancy. The values shown are based on maximum patient registration and maximum bed occupancy.

Enables all patients to be registered with the same Practice, unifying clinical responsibility and core service provision; 2. Has a newly revised and detailed service specification 3. Has responsibility for delivery of the EHCH PCN DES specification for CQC registered Older Peoples Care Homes and Extra Support Care Provision. 4. is the most effective and supportive way of delivering care to this specific targeted cohort of patients.

NHS England (London Region) (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is seeking to re-commission 5 Diabetic Eye Screening Programmes (DESP) to deliver screening to the eligible populations of North West London (Lot 1), North Central London (Lot 2), North East London (Lot 3), South East London (Lot 4), and South West London (Lot 5). The eligible population includes patients over the age of 12 diagnosed with diabetes registered with, or eligible to be registered with, a GP in the lot area as well as individuals within prisons, secure units and the armed forces. The aim of the DESP is to reduce the risk of sight loss amongst people with diabetes by the prompt identification and effective treatment, if necessary, of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy. This will be achieved by delivering an evidence-based service that: •Identifies the eligible population and ensures effective delivery with maximum coverage. •Is safe, effective, high quality, externally and independently monitored, and quality assured. •Leads to earlier detection, appropriate referral, effective treatment and improved outcomes. •Is delivered and supported by suitably trained, competent and qualified clinical and non-clinical staff who, where relevant, participate in recognised ongoing continuing medical education, continuous professional development and quality assurance schemes. •Has audit embedded in the service. •Works effectively with other stakeholders to ensure the care pathway is smooth and efficient. There are 3 key elements of service delivery, namely: •Call/recall for all people with diabetes invited for routine digital screening; this is currently undertaken on an annual basis, but screening intervals are likely to extend to 2 years for people at low risk during the contract term, in line with national guidance. •Digital surveillance where individuals need more frequent screening. •Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB) for those individuals where normal photography is inappropriate (e.g. those having cataracts). Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) does not form part of this Contract at this time, though this position may change over the life of the contract in line with national guidance. The Contract term will be 5 years, with an option to extend for a further 2 years at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. The Contracts are due to commence on 01/07/2024. The 7-year estimated contract values, based on predicted activity levels, are: Lot 1 = £33,753,337, Lot 2 = £19,904,076, Lot 3 = £30,504,838, Lot 4 = £21,881,063, Lot 5 = £17,987,562 Please note, the full indicative contract values per each financial year can be found in the tender documentation. Additional information: NHS England proposes an activity-based financial model with the following tariffs: • Routine digital screening (RS001) - £39.10 per screen. • Slit lamp bio-microscopy (SLB003) - £48.29 per screen. • Digital surveillance (DS002) - £39.10 per screen. • Prisons screening (PS004) - £78.21 per screen. • Forensics screening (FS005) - £58.65 per screen. The Commissioner's ambition through the financial model is to encourage uptake of DESP to achieve or exceed the national achievable target of 85% uptake in routine screening (DE1). The Services will be commissioned using the NHS DESP National Service Specification 23-24, localised where appropriate. National changes to screening frequency for low-risk individuals are expected to be implemented during the contract term which will have an impact on activity. The subsequent impact on contract values will be agreed between the Provider and the Commissioner via contract variation. Activity projections used in this procurement do not account for these future changes as further clarity around timeline and implementation guidance is expected in the future. Further information is provided in the tender documentation. Interested providers may bid for one, multiple or all lots. However, if successful across multiple lots following evaluation, bidders will be awarded no more than two lots. The Procurement is being managed by the NHS London Commercial Hub (NHS LCH) hosted by NEL ICB, on behalf of the Authority, in connection with a competitive Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise that is being conducted via a process, based in part on the open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations" (as amended)). The Service falls within the scope of the Light Touch Regime (LTR) - Section 7 (Reg 74-76) of the Regulations governing procurement of Health, Social and related services listed under Schedule 3 of the Regulations. None of the references to "Open procedure", "ITT", the use of the term "tender process", or any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound to any of the Regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions. The tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally.

North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to establish a PHB (Personal Health Budget) Support Services Directory, specifically for individuals in receipt of a PHB Direct Payment or Third Party Budget. The Directory will contain several Providers (unlimited number) who have successfully completed the procurement exercise and can deliver a range of PHB management support services to a high-quality standard to individuals, within the NCL ICB geographical footprint. The Directory will be online and hosted on the ICB website. NCL ICB will accept bid submissions from any organisations including community, voluntary and domiciliary agencies who plan to work independently or in partnership to deliver PHB management support services. The PHB management support services will help NCL ICB to deliver its statutory duty to offer people who have been assessed as eligible to receive a PHB. This is in line with the National Health Service (Direct Payment) Regulations 2013 and 2014 and 2019 amendments. Eligible people will be encouraged by the ICB to use the Directory to choose Providers to work with, to receive and manage their one-off and/or on-going PHB. NCL ICB is responsible for allocating NHS budget and commissioning services. ICBs are a key change in the Health and Care Act and have replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups 'CCGs'. These changes came into effect on 1 July 2022. More information about NCL ICB can be found using the following link: https://nclhealthandcare.org.uk/icb/north-central-london-integrated-care-board/ NCL ICB has the ambition to achieve the outcomes set out by the NHSE national team for individuals with PHB. The outcomes are summarised below as: • Individuals will have greater choice, control, and preference over which Provider to commission to achieve their health and wellbeing outcomes. • Increase the proportion of people receiving a Direct Payment to 30-40%. • A greater range of Providers delivering PHB Support Services. • Have several Providers who can serve all ages and service groups. • Develop the local economy and opportunities for smaller community and voluntary organisations to deliver PHB Support Services. • Make it easier for PHB Holders to navigate PHB Support Service Providers to organise their own care and support. • Case Managers will no longer need to complete complex Personalised Care and Support Planning (involving non-routine ICB requests and employing Personal Assistants) with individuals. • Support and upskill local people with lived experience and ICB PHB Holders to participate in the project, to influence and shape ICB personalised care delivery and commissioning. • Provide an opportunity for specialist Providers who can support families to think creatively about children and young people's budgets. • Individuals feel confident about taking responsibility for their care and needs rather than powerless in the face of a complex care system. Additional information: This procurement will be divided into the following Lots: • Lot 1 - Personalised Care and Support Planning and Brokerage Services. • Lot 2 - Money Management Services. • Lot 3 - PHB Support Services. Within Lot 3, the range of PHB Support Services are divided further into sub Lots, as follows: • (3.A) Service for PHB Employers and Personal Assistants. • (3.B) Advocacy Services. • (3.C) Recruitment Support Services for PHB Employers. • (3.D) Third Party Service with On-going Management Support. • (3.E) Brokerage Support, Information and Guidance. • (3.F) Employer Insurance Services.

The aim of this framework is to ensure that NCL has a cohort of providers able to deliver effective PBS, which improves outcomes and quality of life for people with a learning disability and behaviours of concern. Effective PBS can lead to improved outcomes, reduced incidents of crisis, decreased use of restraint, fewer breakdowns in community placements and less inappropriate hospital admissions. The framework will implement: • Minimum PBS quality standards and service activities to improve the quality of PBS in the sector • Standardised contract monitoring • A set range of payment rates for PBS packages The framework list will be the mechanism for the call-off of individual packages of care and the award of individual PBS Service User Placement Agreement (SUPA) contracts by NCL ICB. NCL Local Authorities also have the option to commission individual packages of care from this framework list if they choose. NCL Local Authorities will follow their own local procedures for the issuing of contracts related to individual packages of care NCL ICB PBS provider framework will be for the commissioning of PBS packages of care for clients with a learning disability and behaviours of concern. The aim of the procurement exercise is for NCL ICB to have a cohort of high-quality providers from which to commission PBS placements from. These placements are expected to improve client's quality of life. Only providers that meet the ICB's PBS quality standards will be accepted onto the framework. The contract will have a duration of 3 years + 1 year's extension. The maximum contract value will be £12 million per year. There is no guarantee of spend to any provider on the framework.
