The procurement process, classified under the CPV code for medical practice and related services, is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 on 25th February 2022. The contract is set to begin on 1st April 2022 and will last for two years, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. The total contract value is approximately £981,722, and it will offer medical support during weekdays between 08:00 and 18:00.

Companies that excel in community-based medical provision, particularly those experienced in collaborating with NHS services, would be well-suited to compete. The innovative nature of the service emphasises adaptability and integration within the community, allowing providers to contribute to reducing hospital admissions and delivering quality care locally. This is a promising opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health sector who are eager to establish strong relationships with the NHS and expand their service offerings within the region. ## Notice The Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust are recommissioning an existing service to provide medical support and input to the Intermediate Care (IC) service across Torbay and South Devon. The current contract is due to lapse on 31st March 2022 and this contract will start on 1st April 2022.

The Medical Professional will also be required to attend a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meeting to provide support to discussion about IC patients that day. There is an increasing need for medical care to be delivered in the community to reduce the need for hospital admission or visits to a GP surgery and to keep patients out of hospital after an admission.
