Technical requirements: Procurement for the Provision of MSK Primary Care MSK Physiotherapy Services to Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group
Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group (BW CCG) is seeking to commission a primary care musculoskeletal physiotherapy service through an AQP framework. The aim of the service is to provide physiotherapy assessment, treatment, advice and education for our patients with acquired musculoskeletal conditions in a primary care or community setting.
East Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (‘the CCG’) is seeking bids from suitably qualified providers for the provision of CQC registered care home nursing care for patients in East Berkshire. The service should be easily accessible from Slough, Maidenhead, Windsor and Bracknell.
The successful provider will need to work with the CCG, local acute providers, social care partners and wider care teams (including the voluntary sector) to provide care and support for individuals; including those with dementia and those who require 24 hour overview by a registered nurse during their admission which may include the provision of rehabilitation, reablement or maintenance programmes (e.g. for people who are unable to weight bear for extended periods) and/or a multi-agency assessment (including screening and assessment for NHS continuing Healthcare Funding).
A main function of the provider will be to carry out prescribed Physio/OT interventions as per an individualised therapy plan and to host and participate in the weekly multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings.The CCG is looking to provide a positive and responsive ‘can do’ care with nursing service which operates as part of a continuum of services that seeks out and promotes the needs of the individual.
This will be an AQP framework and the CCG intends to open additional application windows during the lifetime of the framework.
The contract will be for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for 2 further years (at BW CCG’s discretion). Providers will need to confirm acceptance of the NHS standard contract and above pricing as part of the application process. The CCG may open additional application windows during this period and providers who have previously been unsuccessful will be able to re-apply.
Further information regarding this process — including a copy of the invitation to tender — can be found on our eProcurement portal: (In-tend — https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home) under the relevant project. Please note that this service is a healthcare service within the meaning and scope of the national health service (Procurement, patient choice and competition) (No 2) Regulations 2013 and as such is governed by these regulations and the ‘light touch’ regime under the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The CCG will not be bound by any regulations beyond those which explicitly apply to procurements for such services and any references to processes or procedures (e.g. ‘the open procedure’) should not be taken to mean the CCG intends to be held to any beyond those stated above.
