Outsourced ENT Service

Provision of outsourced ENT service to the Chelsea and Westminster (CW) NHS Foundation Trust to reduce current backlog. CW Trust tendered for additional ENT service via the Increasing Capacity Framework and invited framework suppliers within the NWL ICS geographical area to bid. CW Trust didn't receive any bids when the tender closed in Nov 2021. Consequently no award was made - however the Trust continues to face increases in its ENT patient backlog and in order to ensure patient safety will need to act at pace. CW Trust intends to appoint Harrow Health to provide ENT outsourced service for the non admitted pathway in order to mitigate the current patient backlog.
