This procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline of 22nd July 2020. The contract is valued at a maximum of £100,000 across three years, starting on 1st October 2020, and running until 30th September 2023, inclusive of a possible two-year extension. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation process, and it falls under the health services category (CPV Code: 85100000), with all services to be delivered within the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSE) that specialise in health service provision, particularly those experienced in managing sensitive patient interactions and rehabilitation services. Businesses well-versed in delivering primary healthcare in secured environments and adhering to stringent health and safety guidelines, especially concerning COVID-19 compliance, will find this an advantageous contract to pursue. Interested parties should express their interest to the contact specified, Donna Harrington, at the NHS for further details on the bidding process. ## Notice NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning (OCCG) is seeking to commission a Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) Service for patients residing in Oxfordshire. The main aim of the scheme is to provide a secure environment in which patients who have been violent or aggressive towards staff in their GP practice can continue to receive general medical services. This scheme allows the Commissioner to balance the rights of patients to access general medical services with the need to ensure that GPs, their staff, patients and bystanders deliver and receive those services without the threat or occurrence of violence or who might otherwise have reasonable fears for their safety. The provider will deliver primary medical services and support for rehabilitation of registered patients to address underlying causes of violent or aggressive behaviour as well as encourage and support facilitation of return to general practice. The provider will be expected to deliver services in line with the provisions of the Standard operating procedure (SOP) for general practice in the context of coronavirus (COVID-19), and in particular ensure that services are delivered from premises which are compliant with IP&C and other health and safety requirements so as to reduce COVID-19-related risks to both staff and patients. The provider will also be required to adopt and comply with the IP&C policies of Oxfordshire CCG and with the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults policy. Security measures for this service are provided by an approved security company via a different contract with costs covered by OCCG. The contract will be awarded as an NHS APMS contract for an initial 3 years with an optional extension of any period up to 2 years, as defined at the discretion of the Commissioner. OCCG has a maximum annual budget of PS20,000 (PS60,000 over 3 years), plus an optional extension of up to 24 months making the total of PS100,000. Further details including a specification and indicative activity levels will be provided in the quote documentation which will be made available in July. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
