A Review of the NHS-Funded Nursing Care (NHS FNC) Rate in England

The aim of this review is to determine the reasonable costs of providing the nursing element of care in a registered nursing home. An appropriate and explicit methodology should be proposed such that there is a clear basis for transparently updating it in future.

The reasonable costs should allow care homes to provide sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced persons to provide NHS FNC, as required by Part 6 of the National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Boards (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

Additional information: If there is an intention to tender, then the potential Tenderer should acknowledge their interest, as quickly as possible, by sending a message through BMS (online messages). This is the sole responsibility of the Tenderer and ensures that future updates etc. can be provided in an effective and timely manner. Failure to acknowledge your intention in this manner may lead to delays in receiving additional information and clarification updates.
