This procurement is classified under health services and is expected to take place in the South West region of England. A key date to note is the engagement end date set for 8th June 2018, with a Provider Engagement Event scheduled for 21st June 2018 in Cullompton. The aim of this engagement is to gather expressions of interest from suppliers and refine the model for community urgent care services, leading to new contracts anticipated to commence on 1st April 2019 for a term of five years. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those providing urgent care services. Companies that specialise in healthcare delivery, particularly those with experience in developing innovative care models or working with rural healthcare needs, would be well-suited to compete. Business growth can be achieved by engaging in this market through participation in the upcoming provider event and subsequent tender submission, as the CCG seeks to build a robust framework for community healthcare services. ## Notice NHS NEW Devon CCG is looking for expressions of interest from suppliers of Urgent Care Services to engage in a market engagement exercise. As part of this exercise the CCG is hosting a Provider Engagement Event on 21 June 2018 at Cullompton Community Centre, Cullompton, EX15 1JX. The CCG is reviewing the model of Community Urgent Care services in response to NHS England guidance issued in 2017. This guidance sets out the requirement for a consistent model of Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC), though recognising that rural and sparsely populated areas may require an alternative approach, and an alternative community/primary care service, which may be a GP access hub. Based on this, the event will aim to answer the following question: "What principles and criteria should we use to identify the model for Community Urgent Care in Northern and Eastern Devon, in light of the clear parameters set by the latest UTC guidance." The outputs of this event, plus other engagement activities the CCG will be undertaking, will contribute to the future design of the model of Community Urgent Care services in Northern and Eastern Devon. New contracts are due to be in place on 01 April 2019. Commissioners envisage that the contract term will be 5 years. This is subject to change through the market engagement process and will only be finalised when any contract notice is issued. For reasons of commercial confidentiality the cost profile of individual services cannot be discussed in the meeting and the criteria sought are objective measures of service delivery for the population rather than a subjective review of one site in relation to another. With the shape of future services still to be determined, it is not possible to give an estimated financial value at this stage. To register an interest and attend the open market engagement event, interested parties are asked to register on the commissioners e-procurement portal via the following link: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home The project reference is Northern and Eastern Devon Urgent Care Redesign 2018.
