## Summary

The Midlands & Lancashire CSU is conducting a procurement process for the "Staffordshire Community Dermatology Assessment and Treatment Service" aimed at providing Tier 3 Community Dermatology across various NHS locations in Staffordshire, including NHS North Staffordshire and NHS Cannock Chase. This open procurement process, initiated on 1st June 2021, has a contract value of £12,522,934 and is classified under health services. The contract period spans three years, with the potential for a two-year extension, and the procurement stage is currently at the award phase, marked by the award date of 3rd May 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare and service delivery sectors, to participate in providing specialised dermatology services. SMEs with experience in medical service provision, particularly in community health settings, would be well-suited to compete. The contract requires capabilities in clinical triage, assessment, and treatment, making it an attractive prospect for organisations that can efficiently deliver complex healthcare solutions within the West Midlands region.

## Notice

The Commissioners entered into a procurement process for the provision of Tier 3 Community Dermatology across NHS North Staffordshire, NHS Stoke-on-Trent, NHS Stafford and Surrounds, NHS Cannock Chase and NHS South East Staffordshire and Seisdon Peninsular CCGs. The Tier 3 Community Dermatology service will include a multi-disciplinary, 'one stop shop' consultant-led service, whereby patients shall be seen by a Consultant, Dermatology Registrar, GP with Special Interest or specialist nurse, and where appropriate shall be assessed and treated in the same appointment, thus avoiding a referral to secondary care. The provider shall offer clinical triage, assessment, diagnostic biopsy, and treatment for the conditions listed within the specification. The service shall ensure that all treatments comply with the latest version of the CCGs' Excluded and Restricted Procedures Policy and where necessary use the individual funding request process for any none standard treatment for unique cases. For any patient that requires further intervention through to secondary care, the service will work closely with local partner organisations to ensure a swift, coordinated pathway is followed and that all service users are transferred to the appropriate specialty with all relevant transfer documentation. This in turn will ensure reduction of delays in overall pathway of care, ensuring service user experience is at the heart of all care. The service will be provided within community locations throughout the Staffordshire localities allowing patient choice closer to home. Following a competitive process, The CCGs have awarded a contract for a period of 3 years with a possible 2 Years extension. The service will be delivered under the NHS Standard Full Length Contract.
