description:
ICHT provides acute and specialist healthcare for a population of nearly two million people in North-West London, and more beyond.  It has five hospitals, namely Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea, St Mary’s and The Western Eye, as well as a growing number of community services.  With its academic partner, Imperial College London, it is one of the UK’s seven academic health science centres, working to ensure the rapid translation of research for better patient care and excellence in education.  ICHT is also part of Imperial College Health Partners, the academic health science network for North-West London, spreading innovation and best practice in healthcare more widely across their region.

ICHT is also a partner within the North-West London Integrated Care Board (ICB). Its procurement and commercial activity is supported by the newly formed North-West London Procurement Shared Services, in which ICHT procurement & commercial team is hosted by the Central London Community Hospital.  This new team supports all the Trusts and community hospitals within the ICB to drive economies of scale and encourage collaboration to commission services jointly, where possible.

ICHT has a current managed service provision for its Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories (Cath Labs) which will expire in the medium term and hence ICHT will be undertaking a competitive tender to re-procure this critical service. The cardiac directorate at Hammersmith Hospital has five (5) Cath Labs (3 x coronary / structural and 2 x electro-physiological). A sixth Cath Lab is under construction and will be commissioned by the end of 2023. The service is currently managed by an incumbent supplier who has provided the service since 2013.

The vision of ICHT is to:

•	Partner with a suitably qualified and experienced manufacturer or economic operator for a period of up to 10-15 years for a future-proofed and innovative Cath Labs MSC, which provides the Trust with the functionality to deliver world class cardiology catheterisation service.
•	Include options for other Trusts to join the contract for the Cath Lab services across the North-West London ICB where it is practical to do so.
•	Continue to deliver world class cardiac services for the population of North-West London and surrounding areas.
•	Be a world leader in transforming health through innovation in patient care, education and research
•	Achieve of value for money through its procurement and commercial activities and explore innovation commercial options whilst working in partnership with suppliers
•	Continue to utilise and benefit from latest medical innovations and technologies
•	Create a culture of continuous improvement to increase and sustain the quality of services for our patients, people and stakeholders
•	Maximise the use of the estate and resources to ensure both optimal Cath Labs performance and a high quality of service for the patients.

ICHT undertook an initial market testing exercise in the first quarter of 2022 and now wishes to undertake a more specific market testing exercise in conjunction with its various Trust partners ahead of formally going-to-market for the Cath Lab service. With the formation of the ICB, ICHT wishes to explore the opportunities for collaboration on the Cath Lab service more widely for a fully managed service across all Cath Labs within the North-West London ICB.  The intention of this market engagement activity is to explore commercial options, new technological advances, innovation & partnership opportunities openly and honestly whilst managing commercial risks through the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement published with this PIN.

ICHT therefore, now wishes to engage with potential suppliers and economic operators with the capacity, capability and infrastructure to provide a fully managed service for the Cath Labs in order to inform its future requirements, including but not limited to, technical and clinical specifications, commercial & financing models, quality & safety requirements, regulatory approvals, technological capability and system inter-operability, supply chain processes, the implementation plan and associated processes. Furthermore, ICHT wishes to engage in any other current and future products and business activities that the Supplier may wish to collaborate on to facilitate future planning and partnership working.

description:
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) follows the PIN released on 24th January 2022 reference 2022/S 000-002062 and all information herein supersedes this. This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is separate to any tender opportunity and not related in any form whatsoever to any subsequent activity that ICHT (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust) or NWL PS (North West London Procurement Services) may wish to pursue. The purpose of this PIN is to inform the market of ICHT’s intention to tender, to improve ICHT’s knowledge on the status of manufacturer(s) and/or economic operator(s) that can supply a commercially available Managed Services Contract (MSC) for Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories (Cath Labs) and to gauge market interest in the new provision of this service. It is the intention of ICHT to further engage with only those manufacturer(s) and economic operator(s) who meet the  requirements.

The PIN relates to the provision of a Managed Service Contract for Cath Labs at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, with the potential to include other Trusts and partners within the North West London ICB, who also operate Cath Labs to promote a sector-wide collaboration within the NWL ICB.

The PIN initiates a Request for Information (RFI) process which is, therefore, being undertaken for the following reasons:

i). To engage the marketplace in order to inform the further development of the Trusts' commercial and go-to-market strategy.
ii). To explore solutions for the future service provision for Cath Labs in line with market trends and developments
iii). To formulate a specification that is future-proofed by receiving feedback from economic operators and manufacturers

After the conclusion of the RFI, it is anticipated that plans for the Managed Service provision for the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories shall be devised for the participating Trusts under North West London Procurement Services and the NWL ICB

title: Lot 1 - Primary Care Network Social Prescribing Link Workers

description: Option to extend for a further 24 months, subject to satisfactory performance

description:
A proactive, preventative approach to social prescribing that will be determined by each PCN identifying patients who would benefit most from the support. The PCN will direct the capacity of the work for the social prescribing link work to ensure the population health needs are met. Social Prescribing Link Worker(s) will work in collaboration with their wider PCN based colleagues as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team.

Working as a member of the Primary Care Network Team the Social Prescribing Link Worker would enable GP Practices and other agencies to refer patients to support that identifies what matters to the person through shared decision making, personalised care and support planning. This support would connect the person to community-based informal support.

Social prescribing is a way to connect people with community-based services, groups and activities that meet practical, social, and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing, and increase people’s active involvement with their health and their community. It is a key component of personalised care where people have choice and control over the way their care is planned and delivered, based on ‘what matters’ to them and their individual strengths and needs.

The social prescribing provision is built around a localised team for each Primary Care Network,
consisting of a Link Worker providing a provision in line with national good practice, embedding the following components:

• Easy referral into primary care with each PCN directing the capacity of the work to support the health population needs of that PCN.
• Workforce development.
• Common outcomes framework.
• What matters to me (creating a personalised plan).
• Support for community groups.
• Collaborative commissioning and partnership working. Additional information: Indicated price does not include extension option

title: Lot 2 - Mental Health Social Prescribing Link Workers

description:
Working as a member of the Locality Mental Health Team, the primary aim of the MHSPLW role is to support people who are experiencing a serious mental illness (SMI) by providing the following:
1.	Support to people who are stepping down from Secondary Care (Mental Health) services to safely transition back into their communities as part of an agreed Locality Mental Health Team approach.
2.	Working alongside Primary Care or other community/neighbourhood colleagues, to support individuals who are complex and who may/or may not be in contact with Secondary Care Mental Health Services.
3.	A proactive, preventative approach to people who are experiencing mental health and wellbeing needs as part of the wider Locality Mental Health Team offer.
4.	Provide additional targeted social prescribing resource to supplement the Primary Care Network Social Prescribing Link Workers (PCN SPLWs).  It is envisaged that each mental health social prescribing link worker will work in collaboration with their identified PCN based colleagues as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team, ensuring a no wrong door approach for those accessing them.

As part of a wider Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) within their respective Localities and across the continuum of care providing strong, person led, holistic approach to care, the MHSPLW roles will:
a) Give people time to have a person-centered conversation focusing on ‘what matters to them’, in order to develop trusting relationships.
b) Help people to identify issues that affect their mental health and wellbeing, and with them co-produce/feed into their personalised care and support plan (PCSP).
c) Use coaching and motivational interviewing techniques to support people to take control of their own mental health and wellbeing.
d) Support people by connecting them to community-based activities, groups and services, such as, specialist advice services and arts and culture, physical activity, and nature and green activities.
e) Determine the length of support required for an individual in collaboration with the wider MDT/LMHT.
f) Ensure a strong emphasis of self-efficacy is embedded as part of trauma informed practice.
g) Where required and as appropriate (determined with the wider LMHT), refer/transfer people back to other health professionals, this could include taking decisions as to whether to escalate complex cases or not.
h) Work collaboratively within the identified psychologically informed pathways across the continuum of care.
i) Utilise Patient Related Outcome Measures such as the Individual Recovery Outcome Counter (i-ROC) and Goal Based Outcome.
j) Manage and prioritise their own workload, in collaboration with their organisation.
k) Attend meetings/panels to support service development.
l) Be required to attend and engage with regular supervision.
m) Following the intervention, send a brief summary detailing the outcome to the referrer.

title: Better Business Cases Procurement

description: The initial duration of the Framework is 3 years, with an option to extend for up two (2) periods of two (2) years.

description:
The Better Business Cases programme aims to significantly increase the capacity of the UK public sector to create and plan optimum value proposals for investment, spending and use of public resources through the use of HM Treasury’s Business Case guidance on applying the ‘Five Case Model’.
The requirement of this contract is for a supplier to accredit and approve training organisations and individual trainers including administering an examination and accreditation scheme for individual candidates. The supplier will also provide facilitation services for the promotion and support of a market for Better Business Cases training.
The programme’s core focus has previously been on the UK and New Zealand with support provided for demand led training around the world. A large majority of exams are taken within the UK. HM Treasury wishes to maintain this focus, while developing the emerging international training market. There is considerable international potential for growth in the provision of accreditation and training and there are already organisations advocating its use abroad.
HM Treasury is looking for a supplier to provide a scheme that will improve upon the functions of the existing scheme. Requirements include providing a model for presenting accredited training providers, examination questions and syllabuses based on HMT Business Case guidance, proactively quality controlling examination administration and invigilation, and providing HMT with regular reporting and monitoring data (further details to be found in the Statements of Requirements). In addition, we would like on-going surveys of people undertaking Better Business Cases training to support on-going development and feedback.
The proposed contract will likely be for a period of 3 years with the option to extend the contract for up to 2 years, plus an extra 2 contingency years if necessary.
The authority intends to put in place a handover period between any new supplier and existing supplier during approximately October – March 2023. During this time, the new supplier would be required to put in place the appropriate processes and systems for the delivery of this service and receive key documents they will need to do so (e.g. banks of examination questions), whilst the current supplier will continue to deliver the accreditation and training services during the handover period. After the handover period, the appointed supplier under this procurement would then be the sole organisation delivering this requirement during the contract period.
This is a concession contract where the current supplier charges a fee to users undertaking examinations (either to become accredited in HMT Business Case Guidance or to become accredited to deliver training in HMT Business Case Guidance). A royalty from this exam fee is provided to the Authority. Concession contract. Examination fees vary by region – see procurement documentation for further details.

title: Better Business Cases Programme

description:
Crown Commercial Service, as the Authority, has put in place an agreement for the provision of the Better Business Case Programme.
The Better Business Cases programme aims to significantly increase and maintain the capacity of the UK public sector to create and plan optimum value proposals for investment, spending and use of public resources through the use of HM Treasury’s Business Case guidance on applying the ‘Five Case Model’ through best practice.
The primary requirement of this contract is to:
• A. Put in place a system of accreditation for individual trainers and training organisations, so once accredited they can deliver training in HMT Business Case guidance. This is primarily delivered through examinations.
• B. Put in place a system of accreditation for individuals undertaking the training by individuals and organisations described in (a), so they can receive formal accreditation in HMT Business Case Guidance. This is to be provided by the supplier delivering examinations to these candidates.
The supplier will also provide facilitation services for the promotion and support of a market for Better Business Cases training, based on the accreditation and approval of training organisations and individual trainers and the administration of an examination and accreditation scheme for individual candidates. These examination and accreditation services are to be available to the public and private sector.
The lotting structure of this framework was determined as a result of the market engagement.
