FOI 1623 – Non NHS Contracts
FOI Reference Number:
1623
Request
I would like to be informed of all the contracts between your Integrated Care Board and all non-NHS providers for health, mental health, children’s services, and social care services in your ICS area, including the start and end dates of the contracts. I realise that some of this information will be held by the councils within your ICB area, so I need only the part of that information that you hold.
This information should include contracts that have been inherited by the ICB from the previous CCG(s) that had commissioning duties in the area until the 1st of July. And for the purposes of this FOI request, “NHS providers” are NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, which means that by non-NHS providers I mean private companies, charities, social enterprises, etc.

Our response:
Please see attached spreadsheets for all of the information we hold in relation to your query.
The contracts for Glossop were inherited from the CCG that was responsible for this area, Tameside and Glossop CCG, as this area transferred to the remit of Derbyshire on 1 July 2022.
I hope that this answers your queries with the information we currently hold, but if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
