two.1.4) Short description
For the past three winters NHS England has funded national providers on a reactive basis to commission crisis surge support to relieve pressure in the most challenged areas of the system. Over the years the programme has developed to reach more patients in more locations, with a more diverse service offer, with tens of thousands of patients benefitting from home from hospital services, patient transport and community follow up care. As part of the Covid-19 response, winter pressures services were extended with more than 182 services across England at the programme’s height. NHS England & NHS Improvement is now seeking a single provider, or partnership of providers (consortium with lead provider), to provide a seasonal surge support offer that will be made available across England (working with the seven NHS Regions) to local NHS trusts/ Integrated Care Systems to support patient flow through provision of hospital discharge and community out of hospital wrap around care.
