NEL Primary Care Clinical Information and Facilitation Service
Notice Description
NHS North East London (NEL) ICB (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is seeking to procure the NEL Primary Care Clinical Information and Facilitation Service ("the Services") via an Open Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 ("the Act" / "the Regulations"). The Procurement is being managed by NHS London Commercial Hub (NHS LCH) hosted by NHS North East London, on behalf of the Authority. The contract will start on the 1st of July 2026 and run for a period of 3 years until the 30th of June 2029. The Contract may be extended for an additional period of up to 2 years until the 30th of June 2031, at the sole discretion of the Authority. The indicative annual value of the proposed contract is PS850,000, making the indicative total value of the proposed contract PS2,550,000 + PS1,700,000 (5-year Total = PS4,250,000) exclusive of VAT. The core purpose of the service is to improve and standardise the quality of clinical data and coding in GP practices, through the provision of expert advice and clinically informed support in relation to practice systems and data. The service will help foster a learning health system for quality improvement, improving the prevention, detection and management of disease and to help reduce health inequalities. The service will provide timely and standardised data searches and reports to facilitate both contractual compliance and quality, enabling early identification of risk and under-performance. Advice and support will be provided mainly to GP practices, PCNs and neighbourhoods (once established). The service will be aligned to nationally and locally commissioned services, allowing for appropriate variation between practices, PCNs and Places, and will be standardized to ensure equity across NEL. Additional advice and support will be provided to commissioning teams, to ensure understanding of practice clinical data, systems and coding - and to ensure (as much as possible) consistency, between practices and NEL, of the data usage. The provider will also extract, format and present data to service users for multiple purposes, including (but not limited to) payment claims, data validation, call/recall, tracking, service planning, and analysis. All further information including the ITT Guidance Document and Service Specification can be found on the Atamis (Health Family) portal linked below. Registration is free and open to any interested individuals / organisations.
