This initiative, classified under health services, aims to establish a new community dermatology service within the South Warwickshire CCG area to manage a rise in patient referrals. The engagement event is scheduled for 31st January 2019, with feedback sought from potential providers regarding the draft service specification and proposed financial arrangements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering community-based dermatology solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, as the new service will address various dermatological conditions ranging from minor infections to pre-malignant lesions. Participation in this market engagement event will enable businesses to gain insights into the procurement process, shaping their proposals to align with the CCG's expectations. ## Notice ***ADVERT IS FOR MARKET ENGAGEMENT ONLY*** NHS South Warwickshire CCG are holding a market engagement event for the provision of a Community Dermatology Service. It is the intention of the CCG that a Light Touch Regime process, mirroring the open process, will be carried out.

The new service will provide community based dermatology services for patients who are registered with a member GP Practice within the South Warwickshire CCG boundaries. The proposed acceptance criteria for patients are as follows: * Management of mild to moderate forms of common rashes such as eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, urticarial and fungal infections for both adult and paediatric patients * Benign lesions that have not been successfully treatment within primary care such as verruca's, warts, viral warts where cryotherapy is not available in the referring practices * Premalignant skin lesions such as Actinic Keratoses or Bowen's disease * Low risk BCCs on trunks and limbs in line with NICE skin cancer guidance 2010 * Acne (Including the prescribing of Roaccutane) * Diagnosis, investigation or management of other chronic rashes, unless diagnostic doubt * Minor surgical procedures * Diagnosis, investigation or management of mild/moderate/non-worrying dermatoses and skin lesion in children unless diagnostic doubt * Conditions of hair scalp and nails * Differential rashes * Lumps and Bumps * Medication review * Management and advice including follow up of skin cancer conditions treated in secondary care by agreement; * Medical mycology * Occupational and contact dermatoses The market engagement event will look to provide information on the services and to seek feedback from the market regarding the draft service specification (attached to this advert) and proposed financial envelope. This will include the opportunity for organisations to raise questions with Commissioners regarding how they envisage the service being shaped going forward.
