Community Integrated Service

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) are working for, and on behalf of, NHS North Durham Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Darlington Clinical Commissioning Group ('the CCGs) who wish to commission the provision of adult community healthcare services for the registered population covered by the CCGs.Current services are fragmented and commissioned from a number of different providers. As a result, the CCGs, working closely with Durham County Council and Darlington Borough Council are looking to commission community services where integration across health and social care is integral to the success of the service model.The service is to commence on 01 October 2018 for a period of 5 years with an option to extend for a further 5 years (at the discretion of the commissioners and subject to satisfactory contract performance). The financial envelope for this service is circa GBP 51 million per annum.
