The qualification period for the AQP accreditation will be for a 3 year period from the 1st July 2019. The CCG may open up additional qualification rounds during the accreditation period. Should there be any geographical areas within the CCG area where further choice of provider is required, the CCG reserves the right to limit the next accreditation round to specific geographical areas only. All potential providers who wish to express an interest in the service will be required to complete an accreditation questionnaire.
Wolverhampton CCG will assess the responses to the accreditation questionnaire to determine if a provider is sufficiently qualified to provide the service specified in the Service Specification contained within the Accreditation documentation. All providers who meet the required minimum quality criteria, who accept the NHS Standard Contract Terms and the Tarriff for the service set by Wolverhampton CCG will be offered a contract.
Applications will be accepted from all organisation types including sole provider, consortia, partnership, lead provider etc. In securing services from Providers, the CCG needs assurance of competence and quality and safety standards. Any provider will be eligible to join a list of qualified providers subject to demonstrating competency against the Authority's specified criteria.
