•	Prevent homelessness and sustain tenancies.
•	Promote independence for this vulnerable population.

These beds are designed to provide a community-based option for patients who have had an acute inpatient treatment but do not have confirmed discharge destination. The goal is to offer a supportive environment for patients during their transition from acute care to home or other settings. We are experiencing a high demand in our Mental Health acute bed pathway which is resulting in unplanned ECR spend.  One root cause of the demand is a 225 proportion of bed occupancy being linked to individuals who are clinically ready for discharge (CRFD) but has not discharge plan agreed or provided. These beds will therefore support this cohort who do not require an acute Mental Health bed or can also be used for those patients with comorbid physical health and Mental Health issues and can be cared for in the Providers clinical environment. The provider has access to beds that are clinically appropriate, and they are currently available.  They are CQC registered and have PLT in reach. The supplier was identified through one our neighboring NHS organisations within the London region who have utilised services previously with no concerns raised to the service prior to actioning the agreement to support patient flow within our inpatient facilities.

description: summer 2028

periodRationale: An overall duration of between 3 and 5 years gives the Authority and the Framework Participants time to work together and achieve efficiencies across NHS Scotland and it provides a good background for enhanced community benefits, sustainability drive and supported businesses

reviewDetails: The Authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made) applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operators was unsuccessful.  The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority dispatches the notice(s) and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement.  The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition.  The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s).  The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established.  Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.

description: The contract values listed are broad estimates only and include additional quantum for unforeseen demand and to futureproof for additional potential. There is no guarantee of any level of business under this contract. The estimates are not deemed to be conditions of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that stated. Contract Monitoring: The successful contractors' performance on this contract will be managed as per specification and regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in Construction and Procurement Delivery for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.

Surrey Heartlands ICB intends to award a contract to an existing provider under Direct Award Process C for Community Pharmacy Scheme for On Demand Availability of Drugs for Palliative Care.
This is a Primary Care Locally Commissioned Service which provides immediate and consistent access to palliative care medication across Surrey with the ultimate aim of providing the best level of End-of-Life care in the last weeks of a patient's life. The service supports patients to live and die in their place of choice and to reduce inappropriate admissions in the last weeks of life. Early warning is provided to Community Pharmacies from the Palliative Care Consultant, GP, District Nurse or Palliative Care Nurse about the type and volume of drugs the patient is using to enable appointed Community Pharmacies to be prepared for necessary prescriptions.
The ODADPC LCS is not a service commissioned nationally by NHSE, and the service commissioned by Surrey Heartlands ICB is outside of Community Pharmacy's National contract. Therefore, a gap remains which Surrey Heartlands ICB fills using this LCS and which means the service falls within the scope of the PSR.
The contract term is two years with a value of £2,100.00 from 1st April 2024 - 31st March 2026. Additional information: Direct Award Process C criteria are met for this service:
(a) Direct Award Processes A or B are not applicable.
(b) the term of an existing contract is due to expire and a new contract will replace it; contract terms and conditions remain the same bar two non-material adjustments:
(i) A small service review financial increase from £1,000 paid annually to providers to £1,050 per year per provider over a two-year term.
(ii) A new contract clause to state if the service is de-commissioned stock not used after 3 months of de-commissioning will be reimbursed by the commissioner up to the total original pack quantity as specified in the "minimum quantity held" within the service specification and contract.
(c) the considerable change threshold is not met
(d) Surrey Heartlands ICB believes the current provider is satisfying the existing contract to a sufficient standard according to the contract and taking into account the key criteria and basic selection criteria.
(f) This will not be a framework agreement.
Basic Selection Criteria, of equal importance, is applicable to the existing and proposed contracts .
Assessment against Key Criteria undertaken in order of importance i.e. Key criteria 1 and 2 are weighted equally as most important followed by key criteria 3 and 4 being weighted equally, followed by key criteria 5

• Spot checks are performed during the contract period.
• The proposed contract will replicate the existing contract. It is anticipated that performance will be maintained at the current high level of delivery or be enhanced.
2. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability
the extent to which services can be provided in
(i) an integrated way (including with other health care services, health-related services or social care services),
(ii) a collaborative way (including with providers and with persons providing health-related services or social care services), and
(iii) a sustainable way (which includes the stability of good quality health care services or service continuity of health care services), so as to improve health outcomes
• Service is utilised by health care professionals collaboratively with patients, social care, carers, families and others involved in the care plan.
• Service providers maintain strong collaborative working relationships with the individuals above.
• Stock and dates are checked regularly and replaced when required. The service can be relied upon by healthcare workers and recipient patients.
• Service supports integrating community pharmacy into neighbourhoods as a partner in delivering services collaboratively.
3. Quality & Innovation

• The pharmacy will review its standard operating procedures and the referral pathways for this service on a two-year basis.
• The pharmacy is required to demonstrate that pharmacists and staff involved in the provision of the service have undertaken CPD relevant to this service.
4. Value
the need to strive to achieve good value in terms of the balance of costs, overall benefits and the financial implications of a proposed contracting arrangement

• Financial savings realised from preventing unplanned hospital admission.
5. Social Value
whether what is proposed might improve economic, social and environmental well-being in the geographical area relevant to a proposed contracting arrangement.
• Supporting patients to stay at home enables family members and friends to visit to a greater extent than in a hospital setting, e.g. it is likely that visitors will have less travel miles and time to the patient's home coupled with visitors not having to pay for hospital parking to visit the patient, which could be prohibitive.
