This procurement, currently at the tender stage, aims to award a single core contract to deliver integrated urgent care services, with a maximum total contract value of £82,845,310 (ex VAT). The tender period is set to close on 30th January 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 1st October 2020, lasting initially for five years with the possibility of a two-year extension. This tender presents significant opportunities for experienced healthcare providers specialising in out of hours services and integrated urgent care. Bidders should demonstrate strong managerial and clinical performance capabilities to ensure safe and efficient service delivery. This procurement could benefit larger healthcare organisations that can operate at scale and have proven experience in managing complex urgent care services, as well as those who can integrate effectively with existing NHS services like the North West NHS 111 service. ## Notice NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) acting on behalf of the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Southport & Formby, South Sefton, St Helens and Warrington are inviting suitably qualified and experienced Healthcare Providers to submit tenders for the Provision of GP Out of Hours (GP OOH) Integrated Urgent Care Services. The CCGs with NHS Liverpool CCG acting as the co-ordinating or lead commissioner, have a vision for their 'out of hours' Urgent Primary Care Medical Services as part of an integrated single model of urgent care services across the whole health economy, providing a high-quality clinical service with a clear patient centred focus. The CCGs have come together to procure a single service that will work closely alongside and integrate service delivery with the North West NHS 111 service, in line with the national expectations for an integrated 'consult & complete' delivery model. In the North West we have a delivery model whereby the NHS 111 service is delivered by the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) at a regional level and which then works in an integrated and seamless manner with the sub-regional delivery of 'out of hours' primary care services. This pragmatic approach reflects the need to deliver an integrated solution but within the challenges of a large, complex and diverse population and geography. The main aim of the service is to provide evidence based urgent primary care which optimises health and wellbeing and reduces the impact of ill health during the out of hours period, avoiding where possible the need for acute care. The CCGs are seeking to engage high-quality Providers with experienced delivery and leadership in 'out of hours' services / integrated urgent care, with demonstrable capability in managerial and clinical performance that will ensure a safe, clinically effective and affordable service for our patients. In line with Public Contract Regulations, the CCGs are tendering their requirements with the intention to award a single core contract, supplemented by some local service variation and requirements. The anticipated, maximum total contract value (including any potential extensions) is PS82,845,310 (ex VAT), with an upper affordability threshold for core services of PS80,266,309 (ex VAT), and an annual upper affordability value for core services of PS11,466,616 (ex VAT). The Contract will have an initial term of 5 years (plus an option of one extension for a further 2 years) from the commencement date of 1st October 2020.
