Notice Description

NHS Calderdale CCG (CCCG) is seeking to commission additional Interim Community Phlebotomy capacity from July 2021 until 31 March 2022.

Specifically, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust have informed CCCG that blood tests will now take longer (previously 6, now 10 minute appointments) and that infection Prevention Control, Social distancing and Personal Protective Equipment requirements will mean a proportion of the annual Calderdale phlebotomy activity will not be undertaken at Huddersfield Royal infirmary. The activity of this interim contract is based on a pro rata circa 41,000 venepunctures per annum. Consequently, CCCG would like to support care closer to home by commissioning additional community phlebotomy capacity until 31 March 2022.
