## Summary

The NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group is seeking providers for Dermatology Services, focusing on enhanced access and cost-effectiveness for patients with skin diseases in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement is in the Award stage, with the contract effective from 1 April 2017 until 31 March 2020. The total contract value is £1,659,841, awarded to Virgin Care Services Ltd on 25 October 2016. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 19 September 2016.

This contract offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can provide effective dermatological care or innovative healthcare solutions would benefit from competing for similar contracts. The focus on creating a more localised service opens avenues for collaboration and service delivery innovations that meet the needs of the community.

## Notice

Skin disease is a common and distressing problem. It is estimated that one quarter of the population has a skin problem which would benefit from medical care . Nationally around 15% of the population consult their GP each year because of a skin complaint and about 5% of those who seek help from their GP are referred for further specialist service Whilst there are some 3000 dermatological diseases, 10 of these them (eczema, psoriasis, acne, urticaria, rosacea, infections/infestations, leg ulcers and gravitational disorders, lichen planus and drug rashes) make up 80% of consultations for skin disease in General Practice. The commonest skin diseases continue to increase in frequency and there are more referrals to secondary care dermatology by GPs than to all of the other medical specialties combined. This is despite the fact that the majority of patients have mild problems that can be easily self-managed or managed in primary care. The key drivers for the development of this Dermatology service are to provide a local, more accessible and cost effective service for patients, in line with the shared vision of North and North East Lincolnshire CCGs
