The opportunity is currently in the planning stage and is classified under the health services industry category. Interested suppliers have until 26 April 2019 to express their interest and submit relevant information to the Ministry via email. The project aims to develop and test a new standardised operating model for primary healthcare across selected geographical areas in the UK from April 2019 to April 2020. This engagement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the independent healthcare sector, particularly those with expertise in developing care coordination models or delivering healthcare services. Suppliers that can contribute insights into the Care Group Co-ordination Centre function or demonstrate a capability to support the delivery of the DHDO programme are encouraged to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this opportunity, as DHDO seeks diverse input to inform its service delivery model. ## Notice As part of a wider transformation programme to optimise the way primary healthcare (PHC) is delivered in the UK Armed Forces, the Defence Healthcare Delivery Optimisation (DHDO) programme is developing a new, standardised PHC operating model, to be tested across a chosen geography in the UK between April 2019 and April 2020. The new model being tested will see the development of Care Groups overseen by 'Care Group Co-ordination Centres' (or 'Group Hubs' for short). Group Hubs will deliver the co-ordinating function for a group of Care Centres, undertaking demand and capacity planning, scheduling the right services in the right location at the right time, managing resources across the Group, driving standardisation/reducing unwarranted variation of care services in line with strategic HQ direction, undertaking analytics, encouraging service improvement and reporting performance through the chain of command. DHDO is also looking into the options of Triage activity and/or remote consultation facilities (telemedicine). DHDO is keen to engage with providers within the independent healthcare sector with experience of delivering this kind of model and/or these types of services. 1. We would be keen to understand your views on the concept of the Care Group Co-ordination Centre function 2. We would be keen to understand the capability and appetite of the independent healthcare sector to support its delivery If you believe you may be able to contribute to DHDO and deliver services that could play a role in the 'Group Hub' concept, DHDO invites you to request a direct engagement opportunity. DHDO will seek to consult a broad range of suppliers and capabilities (via Industry Days and other direct engagement activities) to help inform both the future delivery model and delivery method. Interested suppliers are kindly requested to email SG-DHDOMailbox@mod.gov.uk using the email subject title "DHDO Group Hub" by no later than 26 April 19, with contact details, company name, website and a brief outline of how your services could support the Group Hub concept.
