The tender period ends on 17th February 2017, and its contract is expected to start on 6th March 2017, concluding on 5th May 2017. The services will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare consulting, particularly those with experience in service reviews and strategic planning for diagnostic services.

Any such long term strategy must enable the sustainable provision of these services in future years and not destabilise the current local services. GCCG is focussed on providing different models of care (outside of hospital) for patients with urgent, but not life threatening conditions. As such a strategy linked to the development of urgent care centres is being developed. Therefore any review of diagnostic services and the longer term recommendations within it must do so within the context of this direction of travel. Please see Appendix One for more information. The review should encompass the stocktake of current provision of and recommendations for improving access for patients within the locality to all 18 diagnostics listed in the specification. The review should also consider diagnostic requests made via a variety of referral routes i.e. GP direct access, outpatient, inpatient, A&E. To align with and inform existing service reviews in progress, this review should provide recommendations for the Stroud & Berkeley Vale locality but with considerations of wider impact and links with diagnostic provision across the county as a whole system. The review will be expected to assess the current access to diagnostics within Stroud & Berkeley Vale locality and provide recommendations in the following areas: * Review of best practice and evidence from other CCG areas where innovative models of diagnostic provision have benefitted patients, the healthcare community and / or the commissioner * Improvements that are required to achieve: o best practice o value for money o increased quality of service o reduction in inappropriate activity o effective image sharing * Utilisation of existing workforce skill mix and identification of training needs * Service locations and accessibility to meet locality's demand * Additional investment and resources i.e. staffing, estates, equipment * Review new models of service delivery i.e. consider diagnostic centres * Equipment and facilities * Effective utilisation of multiple providers * Reducing Emergency Department (ED) attendances made as a result of unavailable diagnostics in the community The review should result in the provision of phased recommendations spanning 2, 5 and 10 years. An implementation plan with timescales and clearly identified task owners to achieve the stated recommendations will also be expected. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95792e50-c344-44cb-9ca2-93e994f25648 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | 17 Feb 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Mar 2017 - 5 May 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLOUCESTERSHIRE HEALTH AUTHORITY | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL3 4FE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Tewkesbury | | Electoral ward | Churchdown Brookfield with Hucclecote | | Westminster constituency | North Cotswolds | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2017 at 16:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95792e50-c344-44cb-9ca2-93e994f25648 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95792e50-c344-44cb-9ca2-93e994f25648 2nd February 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5224c433-615a-43c3-ad41-7e8a159b2cc8 Request for Quotation (RfQ) Document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
