Anticoagulation Services (AQP) (Birmingham & Solihull)

Birmingham & Solihull CCG wishes to procure Anticoagulation Services on an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) basis.

The Contract period will be for 3 years with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years at the discretion of the CCG. As three CCGs have recently merged into one there are different start dates (as the existing contracts expire) for each element therefore the following staged start dates are applicable:

Birmingham Cross City - 01st December 2018

Birmingham South Central - 01st December 2018

Solihull - 01st April 2019

The contracts will be aligned and all will have the same end date therefore all contracts will end 30th November 2021 with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years to 30th November 2023.

Please see service specification within project in Bravo for full details of service.

This is an AQP services procurement therefore contracts are zero value and there are no guarantees of activity. The CCG may open additional windows at their discretion and at any time.

The tariffs are:

Warfarin - £53.82 per attending patient per quarter (equivalent to £215.28 per annum)

NOAC Initiation one off payment - £60.29
