Nursing Home Placements for NHS Continuing Healthcare Patients under Any Qualified Provider (Wolverhampton)

About

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit awarded a contract to Newlyn Court Limited for the provision of nursing home placements for patients qualifying for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) services on behalf of Wolverhampton CCG.

The service was commissioned using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) process, with base tariffs of £725 per week for EMI, £700 per week for Mental Health, and £700 per week for Physical Disabilities.

Under the AQP model, there are no guarantees of volume or payment, and patients select their provider.

This was the third window, with accreditation covering the remainder of the initial three-year period from 1 February 2018.

Providers were required to complete an accreditation questionnaire and meet minimum quality criteria, accept NHS Standard Contract Terms, the service specification, and the set tariff to be offered a contract.
