This initiative aims to enhance access to primary care appointments for patients in the Canterbury and Coastal area. The engagement end date for this initial market engagement activity is set for 10th July 2018. Interested businesses can participate in a market engagement event scheduled for 11th July 2018. This project falls under the health services industry category and is being managed by Arden & GEM CSU, based in London, England. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on primary care and urgent care solutions. Companies that provide innovative healthcare solutions and are adept at managing access and capacity issues would be particularly well-suited to compete for the forthcoming contract. Engaging in this tender will allow successful bidders to collaborate with NHS Canterbury & Coastal CCG to improve patient access and service efficiency, thus positioning themselves as vital contributors to public healthcare in the region. ## Notice The primary aim of this service is to improve access to primary care appointments for Canterbury and Coastal CCG patients. By so doing the CCG should be able to reduce the demand for urgent out of hours primary care services. This will increase the capacity of the GP out of hours provider to enable it to more effectively manage urgent demands which can be met by a primary care clinician. Additional information: NHS Canterbury & Coastal CCG are committed to achieving both provider resilience and high quality care and access on a sustainable basis. The Commissioners will work with the provider during the tenure of the contract to explore and support innovation and change to help achieve these goals.
