Currently, the procurement stage is in the planning phase, with a market engagement end date set for 23 February 2018. The service aims to provide urgent primary care outside the regular General Medical Services contract hours throughout the year. The anticipated budget is capped at £1.2 million annually per CCG, and the contract will potentially span five years, with a two-year extension option. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for healthcare providers experienced in delivering urgent care services. Businesses specialising in general practitioner services and those equipped to meet the quality and safety standards outlined by the National Quality Requirements will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Companies interested in participating should engage in the market consultation process and attend the open event scheduled for 30 November 2017, where they can provide feedback and gather insights on the future procurement of these services. ## Notice The recently published Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) Service Specification forms the mandated blue print underlying the future commissioning and delivery of urgent care services across England. The whole of England's population should be served by the IUC services by April 2019. Harrogate and Rural District (HaRD) CCG will commission the GP OOH service to support delivery of the new integrated urgent care requirements for Primary Care by 2019. The overarching aim of the OOH service will be to provide urgent Primary Care services outside core General Medical Services (GMS) contract provision hours every day of the year. The provider will be expected to deliver healthcare consistently in line with quality and safety standards as defined in National Quality Requirements (NQRs) in the delivery of Out of Hours services (July 2006), with the understanding the NQRs are to be superseded by the IUC service specification when fully implemented. It is currently envisioned the CCG will award a five year contract with the option to extend of up to two years. The budget envelope is set at no more than PS1.2m per annum per CCG.
