The tender is classified under miscellaneous health services and will take place in Sheffield, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement process is currently in the active Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 21st June 2021. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1st July 2021 and will run until 30th June 2024. The procurement method used is an open procedure, which allows all interested suppliers to participate. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those offering diagnostic testing or related healthcare solutions. Companies that excel in providing a superior patient experience and have the capability for quality assurance and validation in their services will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, given the nature of the procurement process, which supports wider access to the tendering opportunities. ## Notice The aim of the Service is to aid early diagnostics and avoid the need for unnecessary referral to secondary care, or to support the shift of activity into a primary care setting. It is important that the use of 24 hour ECG is governed by evidence-based guidelines. The Service will provide a 24 hour ECG test with appropriate clinical interpretation for GPs who wish to investigate patients at low risk of significant cardiac pathology, who have previously had a 12-lead ECG and for whom they wish to investigate further. The care pathway being commissioned consists of pre-appointment communication with patients, the diagnostic investigation and a report being sent to the referrer which covers a description of the investigation and an interpretation of the results. A detailed management plan is not required. Structured reporting will be encouraged to support local referrers in their options for further clinical management. The Service will need to be fully quality assured, validated and supported by the Commissioner. The Provider must aim to provide an excellent patient experience during all parts of the process - to include the examination and the administrative services. For the term of the current AQP Contract period payment will be made in accordance with a local tariff . No revenue guarantees will be offered and Service Providers must take the commercial risk on referral levels.
