## Summary

The NHS Erewash Clinical Commissioning Group (ECCG), on behalf of the four Derbyshire CCGs, has successfully completed the procurement process for Core Podiatry Services across Derbyshire. This tender, classified under Miscellaneous health services, had a total contract value of £1,521,000 and commenced on 1st June 2017, with a contract period set to conclude on 31st May 2020. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure with the tender period closing on 9th December 2016. Services will be delivered to various districts in Derbyshire, ensuring equitable access for all patients within the region.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on podiatry and related health services. Companies capable of delivering holistic foot health management—such as assessment, treatment, and education on foot care—will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly suited to respond, as the contract's scope includes tailored services aimed at individuals with low to medium foot care needs, providing an avenue for health service expansion in the community.

## Notice

NHS Erewash Clinical Commissioning Group (ECCG) on behalf of the 4 Derbyshire CCG's is looking for potential providers whom have the relevant capability and capacity of delivering Core Podiatry services within each of the Derbyshire district areas. Core Podiatry is defined as 'the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of common foot pathologies associated with the toenails, soft tissues and the musculoskeletal system with the purpose of sustaining or improving foot health' (Farndon, 2006). The service will focus on the needs of those individuals with low and medium levels of foot care needs, with potential providers referring on to specialised podiatry and extended scope podiatry as required and further signposting to non-podiatric services where clinically appropriate, e.g. smoking cessation or weight management services Additional information: The objectives of the service will be to provide: * Assessment and intervention for those patients with painful foot conditions where this has reduced mobility and independence, * A surgical option for nail pathologies, * Management of foot pain associated with foot function and/or structural abnormalities for common foot and ankle conditions, * Footwear advice and orthotics as part of personalised care plans * Foot health education information and public health information including signposting to services * Equitable access for patients across the geographical region of Derbyshire Integral to the above is: * Provision of falls prevention advice (following local falls prevention pathway and guidance into specialist services where appropriate) and health education. * Adults and children with a podiatric need including iatrogenic conditions without comorbidity, i.e. foot conditions that are a result of health care treatment that do not have direct pathology but do have related lesions elsewhere in the foot.
