NHS Ealing CCG is looking to commission a single contract for Out of Hospital services for adults and children from April 2019.
Aligned to the NW London Health and Care Partnership delivery plan, once commissioned, the provider will be responsible for the coordination and delivery of all community services in Ealing, removing the constraints of separately held multiple contracts, and providing a unique opportunity to commission care that can be fully coordinated and integrated and able to respond to patient need rather than operate in rigid service lines. This will be a building block in the development of integrated care systems for Ealing in support of the NW London Health and Care Partnership ambition for an integrated care system for North West London.
It is important that the successful bidder undertakes to lead, deliver and coordinate a holistic package of community care working in an integrated and coordinated way with primary care and acute care.
The CCG is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers who can provide demonstrable evidence of a track record in transformation and integration across the health and social care economy and is able to set out how they will respond to the need to drive focused change over course of the Contract whilst at the same time having a strong grip on the provision of care that is being delivered.
The successful bidder will be expected to deliver services as currently commissioned on day one and then enter into the transformation journey in partnership with the CCG, services users and carers, general practice, the local authority and other stakeholders.
The CCG is seeking a strategic partnership and therefore it is envisaged that the contract length will be for a maximum of 10 years. The initial scope of services to be delivered from the April 2019 has been set out within the procurement documentation. However the contract awarded will also contain provisions to enable the CCG to commission additional transformation work with access to funds and extend the scope of services to include an identified additional list of services over the term of the contract. Although neither additional transformational funding nor additional services are guaranteed, for transparency, the potential maximum additional value of these have been included in the maximum contract value for this opportunity.
A Prospectus for the Single Contract for Out of Hospital Services was presented to the CCG Governing Body on 28.2.2018. This document sets out in detail the vision of the CCG and the services within the scope of this procurement. A copy of this document is attached to the Contracts Finder notice:

Deadline 2: The deadline for submission of completed ITT Responses is 12:00 noon 26.7.2018. Ealing CCG will not accept responses received after this time and date.
For the avoidance of doubt, potential bidders who fail to submit a response to the Selection Questionnaire by deadline 1 will not be permitted to submit a subsequent ITT Response. Potential bidders may NOT be notified of shortlisting prior to the deadline for submission of completed ITT Responses, and so should not wait until notified before commencing preparation of their ITT Response.

For the avoidance of doubt, Ealing CCG will only evaluate those ITT Responses from Bidders who have been short listed following evaluation of SQ Responses.
