## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services Ltd (NHS SBS) is conducting a competitive tendering process for "Medical Defense Cover for GP Specialty Trainees." This procurement, classified under insurance services, aims to provide block coverage for approximately 1,100 GP trainees across various locations, effective from 1st August 2018. The tender is currently in the active stage, with submissions due by 2nd June 2018. The estimated value of the contract ranges between £100,000 and £150,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for insurance providers looking to expand their portfolio in healthcare-related services. Businesses with experience in medical defence and health insurance are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Partnering with NHS SBS could enhance visibility and strengthen relationships within the public healthcare sector, thus driving growth for those capable of delivering a cost-effective service to the NHS and its trainees.

## Notice

Several years ago St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust moved away from a model for HEE NW whereby each individual Trainee had to purchase their own individual cover and then be individually reimbursed. Instead we procured 'block cover' for Trainees in regards to General Practice (or non NHS bodies) and we also have this arrangement in place for HEE WM and HEE EoE. We are now moving to have this 'block cover' model in place for HEE EoE from 1st August 2018 circa 1100 GP trainees. St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are therefore looking to work in partnership with an external provider who has the necessary competencies and commitment to deliver an excellent cost effective service both to the Trust and the Trainees
