Request for Information - Coronary Heart Disease Cardiac Rehabilitation Service (NHS Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees CCG)

Descriptions

NHS Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) wishes to engage with the wider market via a Request for Information (RFI) process, in order to potentially inform future service model development and/or commissioning intentions for the provision of Community Services for the Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees localities. This engagement exercise concerns the following Community Care -based Service – Coronary Heart Disease Cardiac Rehabilitation Service. The CCG is seeking to develop a service model for a high quality Coronary Heart Disease Cardiac Rehabilitation Service, the overall aim of which is to provide all patients who fulfil the referral criteria with a patient-centred service, which optimises their health and well-being, enhances their quality of life and minimises the risk of recurrent cardiac events. The CCG has developed a draft service model for the provision of this service for the geographical locality of Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees, and wishes to undertake soft market testing in order to gain a better understanding of both the level of interest within the external market in the delivery of this services, and to understand whether further innovation and value for money can be derived via the proposed future service models.
