Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a contract for "General Practice - Local Enhanced Services," primarily within the healthcare sector. This procurement falls under the "Light Touch Regime" and involves a direct award to existing GP providers across Somerset for a three-year period beginning 1 April 2021, following the expiration of current contracts on 31 March 2021. The total contract value is approximately £11,794,000, split across 65 GP practices, with the tender process completed by 10 March 2021.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for healthcare service providers, especially those specialising in enhanced medical services, to secure contracts and expand their service delivery in Somerset. Businesses with capabilities in areas such as anti-coagulation monitoring, dermatology, complex care, and primary care improvement initiatives will be particularly well-suited to compete. With the ongoing evolution of primary healthcare service delivery models, providers who can align with the strategic objectives of the commissioner are likely to find new avenues for growth.

Notice Information

Notice Title

General Practice - Local Enhanced Services

Notice Description

The GP Practice contracts for the 20 Local Enhanced Services expire on 31 March 2021 and the commissioner intend to directly award the contracts to existing GP providers across Somerset from 1st April 2021 to continue the delivery of these enhanced services for a period of 36 months to 31st March 2024. GP practices are able to provide all or some of these services. The services are: * Anti-Coagulation Initiation, Stabilisation and Monitoring * Community Leg Ulcer Service * Complex Care * Compression Bandaging * Dermatology * Diabetes Insulin Initiation * Discharge Liaison Service * Fitting of Ambulatory ECG Tape * Enhanced Drug Monitoring * Fracture Clinic * Frome Unscheduled Care Service * Homeless Clinic * Minor Injuries * Gynaecology Interface Service * Advanced Learning Disabilities Service * Drug Misuse and Mental Health Service * Primary Care Improvement Scheme * Vasectomy * Young Person Clinic * Frome Unscheduled Care Service The decision to award the three year contract supports alignment with the developing Fit For My Future strategy and public consultation, which will determine the services required in the future and the new contracting model supporting organised primary care. The CCG has already undertaken a review of all the enhanced services, and would not want to destabilise delivery of the services through undertaking procurement. The indicative annual contract value which is split across 65 separate GP practices within the boundaries of Somerset has a budget of circa PS4m per annum. All General Practices provide a good quality service that meets the needs and expectation of the commissioner and patients. The commissioner has no concerns regarding the proposed provider's ability to deliver the service through to 31st March 2021. As a result of all of the material factors noted above, the negotiated procedure without prior publication has been followed and justified under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) 'competition is absent for technical reasons'. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
