- Published justification
Performance was assessed through reviewing activity, outcomes, and feedback from HPFT colleagues working directly with CLCH. The provider satisfied the criteria and requirements of the specification to a sufficient standard and has demonstrated sustained high‑quality provision throughout the lifetime of the contract.<br/>The selected supplier meets all of our expectations against these criterion, and in some aspects they exceed expectations.
Publisher note: The provider has been awarded a new contract to replace the existing contract at the end of its term, and the contracting arrangements are not changing considerably. The service is provided on an ad‑hoc basis where there is a service user need for dysphagia assessment/input on HPFT inpatient older people’s or acute wards. CLCH is currently and has been providing the service, and due to the nature of the expertise required to ensure safety for service users who require SLT input, continuing the contract is in the service’s best interest.
