This tender is aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery in Hull, Yorkshire and the Humber, focusing on providing services outside traditional General Practice hours. The closing date for tender responses is set for 29 June 2018 at 13:00, with the intention of the contract to commence on 1 October 2018 and run for 5.5 years, potentially extending until 31 March 2026. The total estimated value of the contract is £13,200,000. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare sector, including General Practitioners, healthcare technology firms, and organisations capable of providing high-quality, efficient healthcare services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in managing primary care operations, as well as those offering innovative solutions for patient access and care delivery, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The procurement encourages participation from both small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, fostering diversity in service provision. ## Notice NHS Hull Clinical Commissioning Group (hereafter the Contracting Authority) is seeking to commission Extended Access to Primary Care Medical Services through an open procurement process. The preferred Provider will be required to demonstrate how they will deliver services in an environment of transforming health care, and deliver primary care at scale as outlined in the General Practice Forward View and Hull Place Plan. The publication of the General Practice Forward View (GPFV) in April 2016 identified the need to improve access to primary care services as a key national priority. As a result the GPFV included a commitment to make extra funding available "to enable CCGs to commission and fund extra capacity across England to ensure that by 2020, everyone has access to GP services, including sufficient routine appointments at evenings and weekends to meet locally determined demand, alongside effective access to out of hours and urgent care services." The service will provide a safe, high quality and cost effective service which is user centred and delivers Primary Care Medical Services outside of General Practice core hours (Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 18:30). The service, as a minimum, will operate Monday to Friday 18:30-20:00 (the extended access service can be delivered before core hours but does need to be delivered 18.30-20.00 Monday to Friday), with availability on Saturdays, Sundays and on Bank Holidays based on the needs of the population. The service will be expected to operate robust systems to ensure that the service is available to service users who are registered as a patient with a Hull GP or as a temporary resident with a Hull GP. The service will be required to: - Ensure patients who require routine or same day appointments receive a professional, responsive and high quality service that meets the needs of both the patient and effective service delivery; - Ensure that the patient's health needs are met and any onward referrals / treatment requirements are actioned within the service; - Ensure patients are aware of the service and are able to access the service easily to make appointments; - Ensure patients have equity of access to Primary Care Medical Services; - Deliver measureable improvements in patient experience; - Satisfy the CCG requirements for the provision of Extended Access to Primary Care Medical Services. The Contracting Authority will award a 5.5 years with the option to extend by up to 24 months. The value and end date stated within the notice represents the offer of the 5.5 year contract as the extension period is not guaranteed. Should the contract be extended, the end date of the contract would be 31 March 2026 and the contract value would be PS13,200,000.
