Musculoskeletal Services

NHS Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) is inviting Tenders from Providers in relation to the delivery of a Musculoskeletal Service to the population of Croydon. The service model and commissioning intentions include for the Provider of future MSK services to: - Improve, support, manage and coordinate MSK need and conditions delivered primarily in General Practice but with access to expertise in secondary care for advice, collaboration and onward referral when required. - Work closely alongside GPs to encourage and enable GPs to provide support and self-help/management of the patients' MSK conditions without the need for onward referral. The locally developed vision includes the co-location of physiotherapy with General Practice to facilitate closer working relationships, enhance the skillset of GPs to manage MSK conditions and strengthen adherence to agreed care pathways between primary and secondary care. The CCG anticipates awarding a contract for 3 years to the appointed provider with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years at the CCG's discretion, i.e. up to 5 years. The annual contract value is estimated at £1.6m - £1.9m per annum.
