Dear South Yorkshire ICB,
Thank you for your response. By "Case Management System Provider", I mean the provider of any software system which the ICB uses for managing CHC case records.
"Procurement contract ... to engage..." refers to the methods the ICB uses to contract care providers to commission third-party providers of care for CHC patients. This could be a framework, spot-purchasing, or another commissioning process.
Question 8 relates to any part of, or the whole of the end-to-end CHC process.
Yours sincerely,
John Campbell
