Community diagnostic contracts/frameworks
Dear NHS South West London Integrated Care Board,
• Have you (or the previous CCGs areas) ever/in the last 6 years contracted with an independent provider to provide community diagnostic services?
• Do you have a community provider providing diagnostics, or is all the activity covered by acute services?
• If you have a community provider, who are the providers and which areas of the ICB do they cover?
• Please outline which diagnostic services went through procurement and which were a direct award?
• Please detail actual spend on each contract/framework for diagnostic services, from the start of the contract to the current date and annually.
• What was the start date & duration of framework/contract/award?
• Could you please provide a copy of the service/product specification given to all bidders for when this contract was last advertised?
• Is there an extension clause in the framework(s)/contract(s) and, if so, the duration of the extension?
• Has a decision been made yet on whether the framework(s)/contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?
• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?
Yours faithfully,
Joanna Malins
