PRIOR INFORMATION NOTICE - PREHABILITATION FOR SURGERY SERVICE (PILOT)

This is a prior information notice with future call for competition and its purpose is to make the market aware of the CCGs' commissioning intentions.

NHS Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be commissioning a multimodal prehabilitation for surgery service on behalf of the three CCG's: Leicester City CCG, West Leicestershire CCG and East Leicestershire & Rutland CCG.

The service will be commissioned as a pilot for 1 year with the possibility of a 1-year extension.

The Commissioners will be considering inviting offers to deliver a supervised exercise programme as part of a multimodal prehabilitation for surgery pilot project.

The project aims to deliver 300 patient episodes potentially over 2 years for patients in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland undergoing major surgery, at locations convenient for patients across LLR.

It is proposed that the terms and conditions of all the services, including tariff arrangements, will reflect those contained in the NHS England Standard Short form contract.

The service will be commissioned via an open procurement process, advertised to all providers which is proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract.
