Community Wellbeing Service

As per previously placed PIN publication reference: 2021/S 000-022415 ,this is the provision of a nurse led proactive and preventative service, known as The Community Wellbeing Service (CWS) for the population of Southampton. The CCG are direct awarding a contract to Solent Medical Services Ltd from 1st April 2022 for 12 + 12 months at a total of £2,395,480 including the extension option. This direct award of a new contract is effectively an extension to the current service under the same terms, which was awarded through an legally compliant, open procurement process. The provider has been delivering an effective service evident through KPIs and contract monitoring. The service extension is needed for work to be undertaken to prepare for the ICS structure changes currently going through legislative process. The newly formed CCG will need to take stock of all services across the new geography, in order to ensure a seamless transfer to the ICS system, without disruption and clinical risk to patients.
