This tender process, officially titled "The Provision of Proactive Primary Care and Pharmacy / Medicines Optimisation Support Service," falls under the health and social work services category. The procurement is currently at the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage, with documentation available from 6th April 2017 and submissions due by 2nd May 2017. The service is expected to commence around August/September 2017, initially focusing on eight care homes in North Manchester before expanding to include all 33 registered care homes in the area by August 2018. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for service providers specialised in healthcare and pharmacy services. Companies that deliver services related to primary care, pharmacy consultations, and medicines optimisation will find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, either independently or in collaboration with others, to effectively support the care gap for residents within the care home population. ## Notice NHS Manchester CCG wishes to commission a pilot proactive Primary Care and Pharmacy/Medicines Optimisation Support Service for care home residents within the North Manchester locality; the service will provide care home residents with the appropriate level of support that they require. There are 33 registered care homes in North Manchester with a registered population capacity of up to 1,096 residents (figures correct as at June 2016). Within the encompassing service there are 2 lots: Lot 1 is the Primary Care offer to Care Homes and Lot 2 is the Pharmacy/Medicines Optimisation offer to Care Homes. Both of these lots make up the service. It is anticipated that this will be a project delivered by either one provider delivering both lots or two providers bidding independently to collaboratively deliver the service to support the care gap for residents within the care home population in North Manchester. It is anticipated that the service will commence August/Sept 2017 involving the care homes registered within the new proposed Care Homes boundaries of neighbourhood three which has the largest care home capacity that equates to 8 homes. The service will then be rolled out to include all registered Care Homes (with the exclusion of identified learning disabilities homes until decision after 12 months review) so that by August 2018, all remaining care homes are included and integrated within the four North Neighbourhoods receiving the proposed service provision as part of One Team Place Based Care. This procurement will be run as a bespoke, single stage procurement procedure.
