NHS Darlington, North Durham & Durham Dales Easington & Sedgefield CCGs awarded a contract to Marie Curie Hospice, Darlington & District Hospice Movement for the Community Palliative Care Rapid Response Service.

The service provides high-quality, coordinated, flexible, and responsive palliative nursing care in the community at short notice, enabling patients to attain their preferred place of care and reducing inappropriate emergency admissions through rapid, short-term intervention in the end-of-life stage.

The contract was commissioned under two lots: County Durham (Lot 1) and Darlington (Lot 2).

An innovative funding approach was adopted where the CCGs jointly fund the service with the partner organisation at a 50% ratio each, meaning the successful provider contributes 50% of the service budget and the CCGs match this funding.

The service commenced on 1 April 2016 for a period of 3 years, with an option to extend for a further 1 x 2 years at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and subject to satisfactory contractual and financial performance.

The contract value is AUD 3,685,986.
