Procurement of Care
Dear NHS South East London Integrated Care Board,
I understand the South East ICB do not commission Home Care through the Pan-London Domiciliary Care AQP contract. If not please outline:
-How does the ICB commission its Nursing Homes and Home care contracts?
-What is the procurement timeline for such arrangement?
-The number of Domiciliary care and Nursing Agencies you work with?
-Whether there is a PBS provider framework and intentions to operate a framework?
-Please provide the names of all CQC registered residential, nursing and supported living providers currently commissioned by the ICB to meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities, Autism and Epilepsy.
Yours faithfully,
Emmanuel A

ambiguous request. Please provide clarification:

questions 1 – 3 also only relate to individuals with Learning
Disabilities, or do they cover a wider cohort?
2. Could you also clarify what is being referred to in question 4 -
‘Whether there is a PBS provider framework and intentions to operate a

Dear FOI (NHS South East London ICB),
Clarification Request
1. Questions 4 and 5 appear to just relate to Learning Disabilities. Do questions 1 – 3 also only relate to individuals with Learning
Disabilities, or do they cover a wider cohort?
Answer: questions 1-3 do not relate to specifics more so asking about the procurement arrangements for Nursing Homes and Domiciliary care contracts.
4-5 yes they relate to the categories of Learning disabilities, autism and epilepsy.
2. Could you also clarify what is being referred to in question 4 -
‘Whether there is a PBS provider framework and intentions to operate a
framework?’
Answer: Positive Behaviour Support Framework. The question seeks to understand if there are any framework contracts relating to positive behaviour support frameworks.
Yours sincerely,
Emmanuel A
