Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published |
No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleThe rationale for the direct award to Bexley Health and Neighbourhood Care (BHNC) is based on the following service requirements/criteria:
i. This is a list base service and the provider will require access to the patient’s medical records and the full suite of clinical systems via EMIS Community, including all necessary Data Sharing Agreements.
ii. In the interests of effective Care Navigation, it is essential for the provider to be knowledgeable of local care pathways and support provision.
iii. There is minimal basis for price-based competition within the contract which is essentially rostering 1 x GP and 1 x admin support. |
