These comprise of NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) along with any other public or private sector bodies which NHS SBS authorises to use the resulting Framework. NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) has put in place a Framework Agreement for the provision of services that aim to deliver a comprehensive route to market for Approved Organisations wishing to procure Patient Discharge and Mental Health Step Down Care (Beds) Services, and Virtual Wards (Hospital at Home) to be used by NHS SBS Approved Organisations. Approved Organisations are NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) or any combined authority, integrated care board, local authority, NHS England, NHS foundation trust, NHS trust or any other body listed as a ""relevant authority"" in the National Health Service Act 2006, which the Authority authorises to use the resulting Framework. These organisations, for the purpose being a principal to the framework agreement under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations are identifiable on the list of Approved Organisations and may be added to from time to time. Our Approved Organisation list can be found on: https://www.sbs.nhs.uk/services/framework-agreements-categories/ NHS Shared Business Services reserves its right to consider alternate agency models, details of which will be published in future Contract Notices. The framework will provide a route to market for NHS organisations and the wider public sector to procure Discharge to Assess Services, Mental Health and Step Down Care Beds Services, and Virtual Wards (Hospital at Home), to support their service delivery.
