The tender is titled "Provision of GP Services (Short term contract) Brighton House/Community Hospitals" and is currently in the planning stage. Expressions of interest need to be submitted by 12 noon on 24th November 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 11th December 2017 and run for one year, concluding on 10th December 2018, with service delivery primarily required from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. This tender presents a significant opportunity for GP practices and healthcare service providers looking to expand into community healthcare services. Businesses with experience in providing clinical services and a track record of working within multi-disciplinary teams would be particularly well-suited to participate. The contract covers the provision of on-site and off-site GP services, making it ideal for organisations that can demonstrate quick response times and the ability to manage patient assessments and care in collaboration with hospital staff. ## Notice The current contract for the provision of GP cover and clinical service provision for Brighton House is a short-term service commissioned by the CCGs to assist with community bed capacity for low dependant patients. There may be a need in the future for other and/or additional GP providers to assist the local Community hospitals in similar ways. The current service aims to utilise access to GP services between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, 52 weeks of the year. GP assistance is provided by primarily using on-site and off-site assistance including urgent provider response. On-site care expects a minimum of 2 hours direct patient contact each week incorporating a review of new admissions, at least one full ward round and ensuring care plans and appropriate discharge summaries are completed. The off-site care is a combination of telephone support and on-call services with necessary visits and assessments upon escalations by unit staff. Any treatments or management prescribed by GPs under these services need to be clearly and througherly explained to senior Trust staff and agreed upon so they are able to be fully supported in the treatment of patients. Any GP put forward under this or a similar contract is responsible for his/her own assessment, decision-making and compliance with provided Trust guidelines, while overall responsibility for the patient will remain with SSOTP. There is also a need to participate in the Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings (MDT) weekly for patient review. We request expressions of interest from providers with the capabilities to provide these services (to the above sites within the designated response times). Expressions of interest should be received via www.EU-supply.com no later than 24th November 2017 12 noon. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06de081c-906d-4536-8bae-2b89a6d321c2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2017 - 10 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M50 2UW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Quays | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75122000 - Administrative healthcare services ## Release History - 20 Nov 2017 at 15:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06de081c-906d-4536-8bae-2b89a6d321c2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06de081c-906d-4536-8bae-2b89a6d321c2 20th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=22334&B=NHSSBS Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
