Description

Our vision for a new integrated wellness service is to reduce health inequalities through better service integration, moving resources away from avoidable treatment and care and towards prevention and early intervention. An approach to targeting resources at individuals and communities of greatest need will be required. As an incentive to providers this specification and subsequent contract includes an equity premium payment designed to reward the provider for increasing the uptake of the service and completion of behaviour change by people living in areas of deprivation. Public health intends to commission services in an integrated model, to improve outcomes and quality of service delivery for residents place a greater emphasis on prevention and early intervention by promoting health and wellbeing rather than on diagnosing and treating illness.

Legal Justification

(i) This extension allows sufficient time for the commissioning work to take place and for partners to work together through the Prevention and Health Inequalities Enabler Group to establish the wider healthy lifestyles pathways. Without an extension, there is the risk of a gap in service provision, which could negatively affect service-users and would leave GPs with no service to refer to, undermining the pathway approach.(ii) As identified at VII.1.4 (Description of the Procurement) there is no intention to alter the nature of the contract during the extended period. The delivery of service remains the same.(iii) The value of the extension period does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract. As identified at VII.1.6 the value of the original contract over the initial 5-year duration was GBP 3 770 000. A 12-month extension at around GBP 449,000 net of VAT represents an 11.9 % increase based on the original contract value and 15.05% based on forecast spend of £2,982,000
