two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (“The Contracting Authority”) is issuing this Invitation to Tender (“ITT”) for the provision of Advance Care Planning (ACP) Support Services to support the Harrogate End of Life Planning Support Services. The aims are that HELPSS will meet some of the specific needs of the Harrogate End of Life (EoL) population. Key service objectives are:
• Increase quality and experience of care provided for patients in the last year of life (LYOL) and their families
• Increase compliance with national standards and Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (HNY HCP) priorities for palliative and end of life care (PEoLC)
• Support HDFT ambitions to provide person centred integrated care through strong local partnerships
• Create a sustainable and cost-effective model to reduce system pressures across the Harrogate locality
• Reduce health inequalities across the local system in PEoLC.
HDFT would like to work in partnership with an organisation to host a team of registered healthcare professionals who will undertake ACP discussions directly with:
o Those identified as being in the LYOL(initiative 1) and their families/carers in their home or care home.
o Those newly admitted to a nursing home
o Those identified as being in the last year of life or who may benefit from ACP discussion following discharge from an acute hospital
o Self-referrals
This will include patients with capacity to make decisions about their care and for those without, best interest decisions about their future care will be made by involving their next of kin and relevant family/carers. This service may be delivered face to face, virtually or by telephone depending on patient preference. Outcomes of any ACP decisions will be recorded electronically by the healthcare professional using the existing Harrogate Future Care Planning template (on SystmOne), see Appendix A – Harrogate Future Care Planning Template. Any patient who has been seen by the service will be offered a review of their advance care plan after 6 months.
