Descriptions

This notice is to inform the market that following publication of a PIN with call for competition, the Authority has awarded a contract for up to a period of 9 months with an option to extend the contract by up to a further 6 months to Healogics Ltd for the provision of a Lymphoedema and Wound care service for NHS East Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group ('the CCG') from 1 January 2022 to 31st March 2023., Please note: NHS England and Improvement have announced that the Sussex Health and Care Partnership, which is made up of all health and care organisations across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Brighton and Hove, has successfully met the criteria to become an Integrated Care System (ICS). An ICS is a way of working across health and care organisations that allows them to work closer together, to take collective responsibility of the health and wellbeing of populations across large areas., It is not anticipated that the statutory responsibility or accountability of the individual health and care organisations working as an ICS will be affected, save for the expectation that CCG organisations will be abolished and functions transferred to the ICS. As a result of these intended healthcare reforms, the Contracting Authority, currently NHS East Sussex CCG, may change during the life of the contract.
