Lots

Lot Description: NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide Social Prescribing Service to Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The service provides clinical assessment of needs, motivational support, goal-setting and multiple referrals to other suitable services for those people where the referring clinician believes that social, emotional and financial issues are directly causing or contributing to deteriorating health conditions. Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates. The total expected value of the contract for the 12-month contract term is £148,090.00. The contract period will commence on 01 April 2026. From 01 April 2026, NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board will cease to exist as a statutory commissioning body as a result of NHS organisational restructuring, with all commissioning responsibilities for this service transferring to NHS Thames Valley Integrated Care Board. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: Frimley ICB has no reservations about the ability of Maidenhead Primary Care Network to continue to provide Better Care Funding social prescribing service as currently set out in service specification. The social prescribers have integrated well with other services and teams in The Royal Borough Of Windsor & Maidenhead and wider. They continue to receive excellent feedback on their interactions with residents and local partners. They have shown a willingness to innovate and reach into the community. The new contracting arrangements are based on a rollover of the previous contracting arrangements/schedules which the provider has already satisfied/complied with to a high standard, and so the provider will highly likely be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.
