NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) is awarding a Home Oxygen Service – Assessment & Referral (HOS-AR) on behalf of NHS Southport & Formby Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group, who are the Contracting Authorities for this opportunity.

The aim of the Home Oxygen Assessment and Review Service (HOS-AR) is to ensure that home oxygen is appropriately prescribed to those people who clinically need it. The provider will be required to deliver assessment and follow-up appointments in either a clinic environment or in the patient’s home, where appropriate. The service will clinically manage all adult patients where a potential need for home oxygen has been identified or a prescription for home oxygen has been initiated.

NICE guidance recommends that a specialised assessment needs to take place to enable the oxygen requirements of the patient is individually met.

The contract has been valued at approximately £300,000 per year; and the contract duration will be for 4 years with the potential to extend for a further 1 x 2-year period
