Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fareham & Gosport and South Eastern Hampshire CCG is seeking to provide an Integrated Primary Care Access Service (IPCAS) as part of a tender process that has concluded. The service, awarded on 9th March 2021, is valued at £6,693,000 and is classified under health and social work services (CPV code: 85000000). This contract will run for 12 months starting from 1st April 2021, with an option to extend for an additional six months, and primarily operates within the Fareham & Gosport and South Eastern Hampshire areas. The procurement method utilised was a limited procedure due to extreme urgency stemming from unforeseen circumstances related to the delivery of GP services during the COVID-19 vaccination programme.

This award represents an opportunity for healthcare providers, particularly those specializing in primary care, to engage in the provision of out-of-hours services and integrated support within community settings. Businesses that can offer face-to-face consultations, home visits, and virtual consultation methods would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders, especially given the ongoing demands for enhanced access to healthcare services across England. Moreover, firms that are adaptable and able to respond to rapidly changing healthcare requirements will find significant potential for growth in this sector.

This The services aims to bring together the separately funded and previously separately commissioned out of hours service and GP extended access; with a view to reducing duplication of activity. Access to GP and a wider workforce for consultation from 6.30pm on weekdays and at weekends based on local demand is made available through this contract. This consists of face to face consultations from agreed hubs, home visits and other virtual methods. Telephone consulting prior to the need for face to face or home visiting services will be conducted through the Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) contract and not this contract.
