This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry and is currently in the planning stage. The relevant engagement milestone, which marks the end of the engagement phase, is set for 5 March 2021. Providers are being invited to express their interest in delivering a GP service specifically designed for patients with restrictions on accessing mainstream services, with an emphasis on ensuring high-quality medical care in a secure environment. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those equipped to manage sensitive cases involving challenging behaviours. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this particularly relevant as they could provide innovative solutions within the NHS framework. Interested parties should consider their capacity to fulfil the service requirements without compromising their existing operations, as the final procurement route will depend on the level of interest demonstrated during this initial engagement phase. ## Notice NHS Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Groups (BLMK) are looking to commission a Provider to deliver an NHS mandatory Special Allocation Scheme, a GP service for people who currently have a restriction on using mainstream GP services. The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that patients who have presented in a GP Practice with challenging and sometimes violent behaviour can receive high quality medical provision within a secure environment, which will be accessible to patients on the scheme across BLMK. BLMK are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) / Request For Information (RFI) for a provider to deliver Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) within BLMK. The purpose of this Expression of Interest / Request for Information process is to understand from practices in and around Bedfordshire who would be willing to deliver this service. This is not starting a formal procurement process which is a decision which will be taken when the CCG understand the potential interest. Those expressing an interest will need to ensure that they have the necessary capacity for provision without destabilising their current practice. The procurement process/route will be finalised further to the interest shown from this EOI / RFI exercise; time is of the essence with the current contract expiring 31st March 2021.
