This is a Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.
This procurement was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
NHS Devon ICB awarded a call off contract from the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Technology Services 3 Framework Agreement RM6100, for a supplier to provide project management support to Devon ICB's Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Programme Manager as part of the ICB's digitisation programme.
NHS Devon ICB are making an Urgent Award in accordance with Regulation 14 of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations for the provision of Children & Young People Community Health and Wellbeing Services including:
• Neurodisability and Integrated Therapies,
• Learning Disability and Autistic Spectrum Disorders,
• Children's Community Nursing,
• Emotional Health and Wellbeing and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS),
• Children in Care Nursing.
This is due to the unexpected discontinuation of the current contractual arrangements.
The contract awarded is for a period of 2 years, with the option to extend for a further period of 1 year to ensure continuity of essential services whilst NHS Devon ICB undertakes a full commissioning review and compliant procurement process, in accordance with PSR Regulations, to secure longer term provision.
NHS Devon ICB will be seeking to undertake market engagement activities as part of its commissioning review. Organisations will be notified of these activities via a separate notice in the foreseeable future.
NHS Devon Integrated Care Board is seeking a provider who has the capability and capacity to deliver 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.
Devons CHC Service provides high quality, safe care to Devon's most vulnerable Adults and Children, and currently has a combined active caseload of around 3,000 individuals. The ICB is seeking an efficient and effective digital system to manage the caseload and the inherent complexities associated with the services. Devon's caseload, plus combined legacy data is circa 3000 records.
The new system is in the first instance to replace two existing systems. For Devon ICB this is a replacement for an off the shelf record system. For Torbay and South Devon, there is a locally developed bespoke system that requires replacement. It is intended the new replacement system will operate for both organisations.
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, inclusive of VAT. The total maximum contract value for the 4-year Contract is £800,000 and (inclusive VAT). At the end of the initial contract term the Commissioner will have extension options of up to 3 years in total, made of 3 x12 month periods, which will be awarded at the commissioner's discretion, giving a maximum possible contract value of £1,400,000 inclusive of VAT over 7 years if the full contract term is fulfilled.
The new service will go live on the 2nd of February 2026.
This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of NHS Devon Integrated Care Board.
