AQUIRED BRAIN INJURY FOR BEDFORDSHIRE CCG / LUTON CCG - NOTICE OF PRE-PROCUREMENT PROVIDER EVENT

ATTAIN COMMISSIONING SERVICES LTD publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 23 notices, roughly one every 9 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

29% of ATTAIN COMMISSIONING SERVICES LTD’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

Bedfordshire CCG (BCCG) and Luton CCG (LCCG) are seeking suitably qualified service providers to engage in procurement for the clinical service entitled ‘Acquired Brain Injuries’ (ABI).

It is the intention to identify and develop a number of providers within Bedfordshire, Luton and nearby localities, who meet the appropriate clinical requirements for the provision of ABI rehabilitation beds.

It is expected that patients will move through different therapeutic levels of care depending on the intensity of patients rehabilitation needs.

It is envisaged that rehabilitation services for individuals with an ABI will be personalised and driven by person centred goals.

This individualised approach to care is not prescriptive and will be reviewed regularly according to the changing needs of the individual.

Consequently BCCG plans to hold a ‘Market Awareness Provider Event’ beginning at 2pm on Wednesday 22nd April 2015, at BCCG’s headquarters located at ‘Capability House’, Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire, MK45 4HR.

BCCG and LCCG believe that market engagement is essential to inform the draft ABI service specification and to also highlight the proposed pricing mechanism for this service, as well as gaining market knowledge and informing our overall commissioning intentions.

Through this market engagement event providers will be able to have the opportunity, through question and answer sessions, to articulate how they believe that their organisation can add value to the proposed ABI rehabilitation bed provision service and to comment on the approach and proposed pricing mechanism.
