AccuRx Video Consultation has been widely used and is generally well received within general practice. Mid and South Essex commissioners are undertaking a full procurement exercise via DFOCVC, with an expectation that suppliers will be invited to a Further Competition Off Catalogue procedure in December 2021/January 2022. Utilising the Direct Award mechanism via the framework will allow Mid and South Essex commissioners to ensure that continuity of service is provided to general practice in relation to video consultation solutions.
