Oxfordshire CCG is seeking to procure consultancy services from an organisation that can provide an innovative approach and capability to deliver Outcome Based Contracts for a range of services, including Mental Health, Older People and Maternity, for the patients and public of Oxfordshire CCG. This work is at the leading edge of implementing an innovative approach to health care commissioning to a wide range of service areas

There is urgency to this work arising from the recent establishment of the CCG as an organisation and it's need to have delivered material change to inform the 2014-15 contracting round.

In summary the CCG is seeking support to develop outcomes based contracts for three service areas maternity, mental health and older people. The CCG sees that there are two further phases (Phase 2 and Phase 3) to Phase 1 which has already been completed. Phase 2 and Phase 3 are both included in this procurement although there is no guarantee that all of the three clinical service areas mentioned will proceed through both phases, or any.

Phase 2: The output required is a fully developed business case supporting the case for change (or otherwise), making clear the clinical vision, defined outcomes, financial envelope, potential for improvement and recommending contractual options for the specified cohorts.

Phase 3:- Based of the recommendations agreed from Phase 2 the CCG would require support moving into revised contractual arrangements for 2014-15. The scope of this will be very dependent on Phase 2 but bidders will be required to indicate how they would scope and price a range of options to deliver this.
