Tender Details
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Type 1 Pregnancy
Opportunity Details :Project DescriptionThis Notice solely relates to early market engagement around the development of a CGM in T1 Pregnancy programme, which aims to offer CGM to pregnant women living with type 1 diabetes from 2020/21 as per the NHS Long-Term Plan (LTP) commitment (https://www.longtermplan.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nhs-long-term-plan-version-1.2.pdf, pg. 65, paragraph 3.80). This commitment was included following the publishing of the CONCEPTT trial (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(17)32400-5/fulltext), which found that use of CGM throughout pregnancy could support women with type 1 diabetes to achieve better glycaemic control and reduce the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes associated with type 1 diabetes.
NHS England wishes to notify CGM suppliers about its intention to commence early market engagement to better understand the current supplier base and market in CGMs, in order to develop a funding model and commissioning guidance to enable delivery of the LTP commitment. This commitment is being delivered as part of NHS England`s Diabetes Programme which is a joint partnership between NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK.
At this stage, we are not anticipating a central procurement but rather looking to support consistent local adoption at pace and to that end, through a Request for Information (RFI) process and webinar, we are seeking further information to further shape our approach; and to develop a suite of guidance to support Local Health Economies (LHEs), including (but not limited to): a central funding model, associated criteria for LHEs to draw down funding, centrally-issued commissioning guidance (including signposting to CGM products where known).
The webinar is to be held on the afternoon of 27th November 2019 (exact time to be confirmed). To receive further details of the event, please access the following link:
