The brief

Sussex ICB is seeking the views of healthcare providers in relation to Musculoskeletal Services.

NHS Sussex has agreed a new model for the delivery of Musculoskeletal Services for the population of Sussex.

In summary the new service will: • Respond to the development of more integrated systems of care and a 'population-health' based approach with a greater focus on prevention, personalised care and shared decision making, reducing health inequalities and meeting population health needs at scale. • Address variation experienced by patients in terms of quality and outcomes and inequity in terms of access, waiting times and service provision. • Ensure delivery of integrated care pathways that are seamless for patients. • Support post pandemic recovery with an ambition to deliver top performance in terms of GIRFT outcomes, productivity and equality of access measures.

NHS Sussex is now beginning a period of market engagement with a view to procuring the community element of the MSK pathway.

The successful provider(s) of the service will need to: • deliver a single point of access and undertake clinical triage of referrals against evidenced based clinical care pathways but with access to expertise in secondary care for advice, collaboration and onward referral when required. • enable people to get more control over their own health and offer more personalised care including shared decision making and supported self care. • deliver community based treatment pathways including physiotherapy but also pain and rheumatology services in conjunction with secondary care.

The successful provider(s) will be expected to work with key stakeholders including Primary and Secondary Care to deliver the single service specification, ensure the key objectives of the service model are realised and that outcomes are met.

We will be holding a virtual market engagement event via MS Teams at 1.30pm on Wednesday 7th September to give any interested providers an opportunity to understand more about the service model, our ambition and expected outcomes and to discuss the procurement/contracting options.

An invitation will be sent to interested providers for the MS Teams meeting.

Interested organisations will need to register on the e-sourcing portal (In-tend): https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning/aspx/Home The RFI posting will close: 2nd September 2022 at 12pm.
