## Summary

NHS England (Cumbria and the North East) has completed a procurement process titled "Releasing Capacity in General Practice Audit Tool," aimed at addressing workload pressures in general practice. This initiative falls under the industry category of research and development services, with a total contract value of £99,500. The contract ran from 23rd November 2016 to 3rd February 2017. The procurement process followed an 'Other' method, and the relevant delivery addresses for this project included various locations such as the United Kingdom and other British Overseas Territories.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare consultancy and research services. Companies with expertise in reducing bureaucratic pressures and improving operational efficiency within healthcare settings would be well-suited to compete in future tenders similar to this. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular may find growth prospects here, especially those focused on providing innovative solutions that enhance general practice operations.

## Notice

NHS England has previously commissioned a study into workload pressures and the report from the study, 'Making Time in General Practice' was published in September 2015. The study identified sources of bureaucracy and potentially avoidable GP workload which can be actioned at a national level as well as through service redesign by practices themselves. NHS England has awarded this contract to establish an ongoing programme to measure the impact of the programme of actions using the same methodology as in the original 'Making Time in General Practice' report.
