Integrated MSK Prime Contractor

Greenwich CCG intends to contract for a complete integrated non acute MSK service to a single organisation (prime contractor). The prime contractor will, through this contract, take on the accountability for both financial control, through the programme budget, and the delivery of a high quality MSK system of care. Providers in the supply chain must be managed to ensure each one understands and delivers its part in the delivery overall of an integrated, seamless service and that it does so whilst ensuring maximal quality of care and productive efficiency. Therefore, the prime contractor must be able to demonstrate that it can manage the MSK supply chain: this is as crucial to the overall success of the system as the care delivery itself. The successful prime contractor will demonstrate their ability to marshal reporting, analysis, financial and contract management through the supply chain whilst harmonising the overall contract management with the quality of patient care delivery.
