Interested businesses can participate in the virtual event on Wednesday 9th August to learn about the strategic intent, scope of the procurement, and expected timeline. This tender offers opportunities for businesses providing healthcare services, particularly those focused on delivering integrated urgent care services. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a focus on engaging potential suppliers to ensure a sustainable transformation of Urgent and Emergency Care across the Buckinghamshire area. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in this event to explore potential collaborations with existing healthcare service providers. ## Notice Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB (BOB) is reviewing the provision of Urgent Care within Buckinghamshire and will be holding a market engagement event in August to discuss plans with interested suppliers. Currently BOB has a multitude of access points to urgent and emergency care services with uncertainty and inconsistency across the delivery of care and is looking to integrate urgent care services to deliver a single, effective model of same day care bringing together: - The Urgent Treatment Centre at Wycombe Hospital - The Urgent Treatment Centre Pathway at Stoke Mandeville Hospital - Out of Hours Service - Primary Care Clinical Assessment Service (receiving all 111 Primary Care in-hours dispositions on behalf of Buckinghamshire GP Practices). This new integrated service contract is planned to start on Monday 1st July 2024 through a competitive procurement process seeking a single provider to deliver integrated Urgent Care Services for the Buckinghamshire population. A potential contract term of 5 + 2 years is being considered. The successful provider will demonstrate the ability to deliver an integrated urgent care service across the Buckinghamshire place working closely and collaboratively with our existing services including the Acute Trust, Primary Care, Ambulance Service and 111 as well as any other service providers to support long term sustainable Urgent and Emergency Care transformation across the Buckinghamshire footprint. This market engagement event is an opportunity for interested providers to hear details regarding the strategic intent, scope of the procurement and expected timeline as well as ask questions directly to the ICB team leading on this work. There will be a virtual event taking place 2pm on Wednesday 9th August.
