NHS North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board (ICB) is seeking to develop a Personal Health Budget (PHB) Support Services Directory. The directory will be made up of trusted and vetted PHB support service Providers, who have successfully submitted a bid to feature on it. The 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 is a member of the NCL Integrated Care System (ICS). The ICS are partnerships of health and care organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up services, and to improve the health of people who live and work in the area which includes primary and secondary services, this is mandated by the NHS Long Term Plan . 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 work with to achieve 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 service users to navigate PHB Support Service Providers to organise care and support. - Case Managers will no longer need to complete complex Personalised Care and Support Planning (involving unusual ICB requests and employing Personal Assistants) with individuals. - Support and upskill local people with Lived Experience and ICB service users to influence and shape ICB personalised care delivery and commissioning. - Provides an opportunity for specialist Providers who can support families to think creatively about children and young people's budgets. - Individuals feel empowered about taking responsibility for their care and needs rather than powerless in the face of a complex care system.

NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) is establishing a framework list of providers to deliver high-quality Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) 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. Framework providers will be awarded individual client contracts through either a mini competition or direct award process. The Complex Care LD team will host the framework. Providers can only be added to the framework during the initial tender period as current procurement regulations do not allow for additional providers to be added at a later date. The NHS NCL ICB Positive Behaviour Support Framework can also be used by NCL Local Authorities. Interested organisation must express an interest via Pro-contract e-tendering portal.

A Bridging Access Service (previously known as the Extended Access Service ) is required for Camden. This is a general practice service which contributes to ensuring general practice provision is in place from 8am to 8pm seven days a week by bridging the gap not met by either core general practice services or by the national Primary Care Network enhanced access coverage.

General Practice is experienced in delivering frequent and significant change to meet national and local expectations for continuous improvement of patient care. This is in addition to providing a higher volume of clinical care than ever. It is well-understood, however, that practice capacity to undertake meaningful, sustainable change is finite, and that capability for change management and quality improvement varies between individual providers. In previous financial years North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) has commissioned at-scale primary care providers to offer change management support to General Practice on a number of topics. These have included mobilising the model of care required to deliver its long-term conditions locally commissioned service (LTC LCS), and delivering the requirements of the national delivery plan for recovering access to primary care. Some of these commissioned offers have been universal to all practices in NCL; others have been targeted where data and intelligence indicates that a subset of practices would specifically benefit from targeted support. Building on the learning from previous commissioned services the ICB now aspires to move towards a consistent commissioned change management offer to General Practice across NCL. As a first step, this specification represents iterative development of the ICB's aspiration to continue to support General Practice with change management using a standard approach. It describes the programme approach to be delivered to enable a consistent change management offer, and the individual change themes for the 2025-26 financial year with the intention of a larger scale procurement of a longer-term contract in the future. The Service will commence on 1st October 2025. The value will be up to £1,425,000 for a maximum contract length of 18 months.
