Acquired Brain Injury and Neuro Rehabilitation Placements - West Hampshire CCG

Further to market engagement events and workshops that have taken place during the last year, NHS West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group as host on behalf of, NHS Fareham and Gosport, NHS Isle of Wight CCG (Lot A only), NHS North Hampshire, NHS North East Hampshire and Farnham, NHS South Eastern Hampshire and NHS West Hampshire CCGs, would like to invite interested parties to quote for a contract to provide Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Neuro Rehabilitation placements for patients registered in the above CCGs.

The purpose of this Invitation to Quote (ITQ) is to develop a Qualified Preferred Provider List (QPPL) for ABI and Neuro Rehabilitation services.

Key drivers are promotion of a structured process that selects a provider that best meets clinical need first, best practice service outcomes, formal mechanisms for client reviews and clinical change management, transparency of pricing through structured rate cards, plus access to as many providers as possible within a niche market.

The requirement is split into two Lots:

Lot A - Complex Neuro Rehabilitation (2 services - Short Term or Medium to Longer Term)

Lot B - Long Term Complex Neuro/ABI Placements CHC

The Commissioners wish to contract with as many providers as possible, who are qualified to deliver the Specifications, to maximise capacity in the geographical area served by the participating CCGs. Interested parties can bid for any number of lots as appropriate.

The ITQ process is being managed by NHS South of England Procurement Services (SoEPS) using the In-tend electronic tendering portal. To access the ITQ documents, interested parties will need to register (free of charge) as per the guidance below.
