NEPO seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services ("NEPRO Four"). It is envisaged NEPRO Four will operate as a Neutral Vendor Managed Service vehicle for the delivery of Specialist Professional Services. The Neutral Vendor will not provide Specialist Professional Services in its own right and must maintain neutrality at all times when selecting suitable suppliers to deliver services under the Framework Agreement. NEPO's existing Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services (NEPRO Three) will expire on 31st August 2029. For the avoidance of doubt, NEPO seeks to procure a single provider solution to manage a perpetual supply chain, capable of delivering a full spectrum of Specialist Professional Services. The scope of services covered under NEPRO Four will not include Temporary or Permanent Recruitment. The solution will be procured using the procedures outlined in the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023).

"Reablement is a strengths-based, person-centred approach that promotes and maximises independence and wellbeing. It aims to ensure positive change using user-defined goals and is designed to enable people to gain, or regain, their confidence, ability, and necessary skills to live as independently as possible, especially after an illness, deterioration in health or injury. Reablement focuses on enabling people to do things for themselves rather than having things done for them. Reablement will be achieved by working in partnership with individuals to support them to undertake tasks themselves, promoting choice, control, and functional ability rather than providing task-based care. Reablement in the Borough will be aided by technology to deliver positive outcomes for each Service User, ensuring their support is effective, innovative, and tailored to their individual needs. There are two types of Reablement Pathways. 1) ICS Pathway 1 Services All Referrals to Pathway 1 Reablement service will be made by appropriate ICS staff. Individuals may be residing in acute hospitals, both inside and outside the borough, or in their own homes. (but only for the purposes of permitting the Referral of Adults who are ordinarily resident in the Borough). Pathway 1 Reablement provides short-term, intensive, therapy-led support following hospital discharge or admission avoidance. Delivered through an integrated multidisciplinary approach, it focuses on helping people regain skills, achieve personal goals, and undertake daily activities independently wherever possible. Pathway 1 Social provides short-term interim support for individuals who do not require Reablement, have reached their Reablement potential, or are awaiting longer-term care arrangements or other appropriate services. It ensures continuity of care while longer-term solutions are put in place, and service users may move between the Reablement and Social pathways as their needs change. 2) Community Reablement Pathway Referrals into the Community Reablement Service will be made via the Council's customer experience centre/operational teams in Adult Social Care. Community Reablement provides preventative, short-term support for people living in the community who are experiencing a decline in their functional ability. Delivered through a partnership between the Council's therapy team and the Provider, it aims to restore independence, improve wellbeing, and reduce the need for ongoing care and support. This is a cost and volume contract therefore the value of the total contract value may change, dependant on client need. "

The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) will be for NHS-funded care in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Jersey (inclusion of other devolved nations/Crown dependencies is yet to be determined and will be detailed within the tender documentation). The initial contract is anticipated to be for a period of 3 years, at a maximum total budget of up to £ 951,168.00 excl VAT and £1,141,401.00 with VAT. Bids exceeding this limit will be rejected. Due to the unknowns in advance of holding the premarket engagement session, it is currently expected that the extension value will be a 2-year pro rata of the core 3-year funding, estimated at £634,112.00 excluding VAT. There is potential to include other Devolved Nations and/or Crown Dependencies, and aspirational measures (which will be defined in the service specification). The role of a national clinical audit is to stimulate healthcare improvement through the provision of timely and high-quality information on the organisation, delivery and outcomes of healthcare, together with tools and support to enable healthcare providers and other audiences to make best use of this information. Outcomes are benchmarked against national guidance and standards e.g. quality standards from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and those from other established professional and patient sources. Successful national audits are those where the individuals providing the data can also improve the system, and there is a shared understanding of what good care looks like. The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) was established in 2011 and has been delivered by the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) - https://www.nela.org.uk/ The overarching aim of this audit is to stimulate improvements in care for patients undergoing and not undergoing emergency laparotomy through the provision of high-quality comparative data from all providers of emergency laparotomy by measuring and reporting variations in quality of care and patient outcomes. During this contract period, the successful tenderer will need to build on the achievements of the audit to date and enhance the ability for the audit to be used for healthcare improvement by engaging with clinicians, patients and commissioners (both local and national) and regional networks. Successful national audits are those where the individuals providing the data are also in a position to improve the system, and where there is a shared understanding of what good care looks like. Data is most useful locally for healthcare improvement when its provision to clinical teams is timely, the data is refreshed regularly, and appropriate tools, support and guidance accompany the data outputs. The intent is for all of these features to be implemented and improved during the period of this future contract. Develop a robust, high-quality audit designed around key quality metrics likely to best support local and national quality improvement Detect, describe and help reduce unwarranted clinical variation by systematically benchmarking performance, identifying outliers, and supporting services to understand variation in outcomes, processes and experience Achieve, articulate and maintain close alignment with relevant NICE national guidance and quality standards throughout the audit, as appropriate Enable healthcare quality improvements through the provision of timely, high-quality data that compares providers of healthcare, and comprises an integrated mixture of named Trust or Health Board, Integrated Care System (ICS), multi-disciplinary team, possibly consultant or clinical team level and other levels of reporting Engage patients, carers and the public in a meaningful way, achieving a strong patient voice which informs and contributes to the design, functioning, outputs and direction of the audit Consider the value and feasibility of linking data at an individual patient level to other relevant national datasets either from the outset or in the future,…
