At the tender stage, interested businesses are required to submit bids by 13th January 2025. The initial contract period will commence on 1st October 2025 and will last until 30th September 2028, with a potential extension of two more years. The contract, valued around £7.8 million, is open for competition under an open procedure. The aim is to operate three to four GP Hubs across Purley War Memorial Hospital, Parkway Health Centre, and Croydon Health Service NHS Trust, all located in various parts of Croydon, addressing urgent care needs on a daily basis from 8 am to 8 pm. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in managing general-practitioner services. The annual budget of approximately £2.6 million allows room for substantial operational capacity and service enhancements. SMEs are encouraged to participate, making it an excellent growth opportunity for qualified smaller enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio in the healthcare sector. Given the broad impact and community-centric nature of this healthcare initiative, businesses that are adept in providing efficient, patient-focused urgent care services would find this tender particularly beneficial. ## Notice The GP Hubs service forms part of the Integrated Urgent Care Service in Croydon. We currently provide 3 GP Hubs across the borough that are open 8am to 8pm 7 days per week. The hubs will see patients with an urgent primary care condition via a booked appointment. Patients can access the service via NHS 111, webform booking or in some cases walk in (where they will be given an appointment slot). Patients are required to be seen within 90 minutes of their booked appointment time. The hubs are based in Purley War Memorial Hospital (south of the borough), Parkway Health Centre (New Addington, East of the borough) and a hub on site at Croydon Health Service NHS Trust (North of the borough) which allows for Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) colleagues to re-direct patients to a more appropriate setting. The service sees patients from any borough/ICB footprint and currently see around 4,800 patients per month. The purpose of the GP hubs is to provide a more appropriate setting for patients with an urgent, low-level acuity need. Conditions range from acute ear infection to minor injuries treated with gluing/suturing to minor trauma to hands, feet, or limb. This is in contrast to the other services within Integrated Urgent Care such as the UTC which will treat patients for more serious minor injuries for which treatment and investigations include; X-Ray, pathology, fracture clinic, CT, dressing of major wounds etc. The tender will also require bidders to submit two financial bids for running both 3 and 4 hubs in order to inform decision making on affordability and value for money. Please take into account the annual budget for this new contract is circa PS2.6m. Contract will be for an initial 3 year period with the option to extend for a further two years.
