Neurological Rehabilitation Service

NHS Central London CCG, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCG and NHS West London CCG are working together to establish new Neurological Rehabilitation Services for their patients from April 2016.

With a combined annual service value circa £3.5m, the current services include only 10 SNRS Level. A procurement is being planned to competitively tender this whilst increasing the capacity to 19 beds.

Recent work with stakeholders and clinicians indicates the need for both a bed based and outreach service model to facilitate patient flow and ensure close integration with acute and community pathways. The CCGs will seek an innovative provider to deliver this model for Level 2 to facilitate transitions in care.

The requirement is to provide high quality Level 2 specialist neuro rehab provision for people with moderate to severe physical, cognitive and/or behavioural needs, including those requiring complex disability management. The key components are: **Consultant in RM led, well resourced and competent MDT service; **In-patient bed based specialist interventions and disability management; **Community outreach staff supporting successful transitions in community, and long-term care settings; and ** Follow up care (review) and specialist support to community rehab/case management teams.

Potential services providers are invited to engage with the CCGs to help to inform planning for the procurement which is currently intended to commence in August 2015.

To express your potential interest in this future procurement, please review the attached documents which detail the commissioning intentions of the CCGs and complete and return the Questionnaire by 19 June 2015.

Any expressions of interest or responses received will not form part of any future tender response and are not a prerequisite to any supplier wishing to tender in the future. The CCGs do not intend for this early engagement activity to commit them to any actual subsequent procurement which may or may not take place and the CCGs reserve the right to withdraw this notice.
