NHS BNSSG - Interim Integrated Care at Home Services

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board's (the Commissioner), intention to commission interim Integrated Care at Home Services.

The Commissioner would like to communicate a planned market engagement event and request expressions of interest for this.

The service will develop, operate and evaluate interim Integrated Care at Home (IC@H) services in 3 BNSSG localities over a period of 2 years.

Interim IC@H services are a multi-agency approach across health, social care and VCSE partners in BNSSG, focused on people at risk of a deterioration in their health and independence that will lead to hospital admission or use of long-term care in the next 12 months.

The ICB intends to procure this service through a single contract with a lead or prime provider who will lead and co-ordinate multi-agency working across system partners in 3 early implementer localities.

To deliver this contract, the provider must have access to the BNSSG registered general practice list and be able to develop an integrated approach across existing health, social care and VCSE services in BNSSG.

The geographical scope of this contract is expected to cover 3 'early implementer' localities: South Gloucestershire, South Bristol and Weston, Worle and Villages.

The estimated contract value is a total of £4.6m for the initial 2-year contract term. The annual budget will reflect the phased implementation schedule for the 3 early implementer localities. The annual budget is expected to be £0.82m in 2025/26, £2.6m in 2026/27 and £1.18m in 2026/27.

The contract will commence in September 2025 and end in August 2027.

It is the Commissioners intention to hold a market engagement event on 29 July 2025 via MSTeams, with all parties who have registered their interest. An invitation to this in person event will be issued directly to you once you have registered on the Atamis portal.

The deadline to register your interest is 12:00 Friday 25th July 2025.

This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
