two.1.4) Short description
South Lanarkshire Council are looking to procure a replacement physiotherapy service for employees of South Lanarkshire Council, (SLC), South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (SLLC), Lanarkshire Valuation Joint Board (LVJB) and SEEmis.
The current provider supports adults with acute and/or chronic musculoskeletal issues.
The Council has a limited budget for this service and is keen to explore the different models available to provide a good service to our employees and where possible, reduce the number of face-to-face appointments. Suggested alternative models to face-to-face could include initial triage by telephone, referral to NHS online information, webinars, leaflets, etc.
The preference is to continue to have a single provider to allow the Council to continue to streamline services and reduce management and administration costs. We anticipate that a single provider would continue to support a straight forward referral process and consolidate the reporting and monitoring functions we would require.
The length of contract, model, budget and route to market has still to be confirmed. However, all of this information will be provided in the Invitation to Tender when published.
