This initiative aligns with the GPFV (General Practice Forward View) objectives and is classified under health training services. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with applications open until 31st July 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2017 and conclude on 30th September 2019, covering the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The overall value of the contract is £120,750, and it follows an open procedure procurement method. This opportunity presents substantial prospects for businesses engaged in health training and development services, particularly those that can deliver tailored training for front-line staff in general practice settings. Companies specialising in staff training services and local training providers with experience in the healthcare sector would be well-positioned to compete. By participating in this tender, businesses can not only contribute to significant improvements in patient care but also establish long-term relationships within the NHS framework, supporting sustainable growth in the public health sector. ## Notice NHS Leeds West CCG on behalf of the three Leeds CCGs, including NHS Leeds North CCG and NHS Leeds South and East CCG wish to contract with a provider to provide a training and development programme for practice teams to prepare and enable them for working differently for Leeds GP practices (Active Signposting). NHS England (NHSE) has committed national funding to support some change areas outlined in the GPFV. Funding for training of front of house in general practice will support skills and confidence for staff to play a greater role in the active sign-posting of patients. Both of these developments will free up GP time to be able to focus care on the most complex patients, as endorsed by the British Medical Association and Royal College of Nursing. There are already good examples of local practice teams embracing change and working differently but there are also some practices who are more resistant to the changes outlined in the GPFV and need support about the benefits of new ways of working. Although not part of this tender, a communications campaign will run alongside this work as we recognize that in order to successfully implement this change into general practice, it will be necessary to engage with the general population to communicate the purpose and benefit of the general practice workforce changes. The general population must be informed of the change in communication style and approach at the front desk that this will engender. The active sign-posting process starts with the receptionist understanding the reason that the patient is contacting the practice, and then sign-posting them to the appropriate service / process Objectives * All staff working in reception in all Leeds GP practices receive appropriate training to develop the skills required to feel confident and competent to carry out active signposting to agreed standards. * All practice teams to be prepared, enabled and have plans to support front line staff engaged in active sign-posting, and for the implementation of active signposting. * All practice teams to understand and appreciate the context and drivers of the GPFV and the utilisation of a broader primary care workforce, and why this is national policy.
