This specialist capability shall be provided by an external contractor. The authority is seeking to tender for a 4 -year contract to start on 01 Apr 2027, with the option to extend up to 24 months. Service Requirement The service shall include: • Prosthetic provision post primary amputation, upper and lower limb, often with additional complex needs, • Management of established prosthetic users with complex needs and/or high level demands, • Care of patients with a range of complex orthopaedic, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions requiring orthotic devices. Services are delivered to both inpatients and outpatients on site to minimise timescales and maximise rehab potential. The Contractor shall supply a prosthetic and orthotic management IT system to facilitate service delivery. All staff will require a Disclosure and Barring Service Check and a security check through the National Security Vetting Service. The core hours of clinical delivery on the unit are 0800 – 1700 Monday to Thursday and 0800 – 1330 on a Friday. The provision of routine and emergency appointments will be within normal working hours, there is not an out of hours requirement.
