## Summary

The NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group is conducting a procurement for Cardiology Diagnostics (Ambulatory ECG) Services under the Any Qualified Provider framework. This open procurement process, initiated by the NHS South Yorkshire Procurement Service, was launched on 16th January 2018, with a tender submission deadline of 14th February 2018. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2018 and will run until 31st March 2019, concerning services classified under CPV codes for cardiology services. The service aims to improve early diagnostics and enhance patient care pathways within the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in cardiology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-placed to compete, given that the procurement process promotes inclusivity under the Any Qualified Provider framework. Potential vendors should be well-versed in providing quality patient care and must be capable of delivering structured reporting and quality assurance as part of the service, ensuring an excellent patient experience throughout the examination and administrative procedures.

## Notice

NHS Sheffield CCG is seeking providers under the Any Qualified Provider framework for a Cardiology Diagnostics (Ambulatory ECG) Service. 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.
