## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services Ltd has successfully completed the procurement process for "Medical Defense Cover for GP Speciality Trainees," a service contract in the insurance sector. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a tender period that ended on 2nd June 2018 and a contract period starting from 1st August 2018 to 31st July 2019. The total value of the contract is set at £300,000, with a minimum expected value of £77,000. This initiative is aimed at supporting approximately 1,100 GP trainees across the UK, including British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the insurance services industry to engage in a steady and meaningful partnership with a reputable NHS trust. Organisations equipped to deliver insurance solutions tailored to the needs of medical trainees will find this an advantageous procurement process. Businesses of varying sizes, especially those with experience in providing comprehensive insurance services, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, enhancing their market presence in the public sector.

## Notice

Several years ago St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust moved away from a model for HEE NW whereby each individual Trainee had to purchase their own individual cover and then be individually reimbursed. Instead we procured 'block cover' for Trainees in regards to General Practice (or non NHS bodies) and we also have this arrangement in place for HEE WM and HEE EoE. We are now moving to have this 'block cover' model in place for HEE EoE from 1st August 2018 circa 1100 GP trainees. St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are therefore looking to work in partnership with an external provider who has the necessary competencies and commitment to deliver an excellent cost effective service both to the Trust and the Trainees
