The project, which has a total expected value of £20 million, is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement event scheduled for 14 August 2017. Interested parties must register to participate by 17:00 on 3 August 2017. The service will be based in Romford, within the East of England and London regions, aiming to improve patient flow by providing immediate prioritisation of patients without hospital admission. This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare service providers, particularly those experienced in urgent care or emergency services. Businesses that supply general practitioners (GPs) or have expertise in designing innovative healthcare delivery models will be particularly well-suited to compete. Participation in the market engagement event will enable potential bidders to gain a deeper understanding of the specific needs and requirements set forth by the Trust, aiding in the development of their proposals. ## Notice Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT), as the Contracting Authority,expects to put in place a contract to operate a proposed Enhanced Urgent Care Centre (EUCC). It is anticipatedthat the EUCC will provide a single, innovative service that will receive, assess, diagnose and treat patientsthat do not require admission to hospital. The expectation is that the EUCC service will support the BHRUT objectives to ensure efficient patient flow by providing a robust streaming system, which will allow for immediateprioritisation of patients based on their clinical need. It is anticipated that the proposed Contract would be awarded for an initial term of two (2) years, with an option to extend for up to a further two (2) years (two 12 month periods). Any extension will be exercised at thediscretion of the Authority.We anticipate the EUCC to: 1. Deliver a new model of care to support local need and national requirements with robust service specification and payment system which meet the NHS five year plan, BHRUT strategy, local priorities and financial envelope 2. Support the BHRUT objectives to ensure efficient patient flow through the EUCC, making the best use of available resources and ensuring seamless co-ordination of care for patients on the non-admitted pathway. It is anticipated that the provider will supply GPs to undertake the role of streaming and redirection where appropriate over a 24 hour period at the access point of EUCC. They will also be expected to provide GPs or other adequately trained staff for a number of hours specified by the Trust to see those patients presenting with minor illness. It is anticipated that the provider will support and develop the existing training scheme for the trainee ACPs. Additional information: BHRUT (as the Authority) anticipates undertaking an Open procurement exercise, subject to market engagement, to set up a contract for the provision of an Enhanced Urgent Care Centre. A market engagement event is being planned, the purpose of which is to explain the business requirement and procurement strategy options in more detail. It is anticipated that this event will take place on 14 August 2017 at a location yet to be determined. Full details are subject to final confirmation.
