## Summary

The buying organisation, Attain, has awarded a contract to the National Association of Sessional GPs for a Locum GP Booking Platform in the software package and information systems category. The contract, valued at £57,300, runs from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2024. This procurement was undertaken through a direct procurement method using a single tender action (below threshold). The contracting authority is based at Charter House, Parkway, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6JL, East of England, United Kingdom.

This contract opportunity can benefit businesses that provide services related to software packages and information systems, specifically in the healthcare industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to provide GP locum booking services could find this opportunity suitable. The Locum GP Booking Platform aims to streamline the process of booking locum GPs for medical practices in Hertfordshire and West Essex, offering potential growth avenues for businesses specializing in healthcare software solutions.

## Notice

This notice is to inform the market of a contract which has been awarded to the National Association of Session GP's (NASGP) to continue to provide access to GP locums across Hertfordshire and West Essex. The initial contract was put in place in September 2021 and was due to expire on 31st August 2023. The decision was taken by NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) to award a new contract for an additional year. NASGP provides a service to over 100 of HWE ICB practices and has had positive impacts for both Practices and GP Locums by providing expert support from both the LocumDeck Platform and the NASGP dedicated team support. Practice Managers rely on the LocumDeck Platform to book locums instantly, browsing GP Locum CVs and files before booking. Locums also rely on this service to ensure their bookings. Over the 2-years of the platform being in place, the provider has built a good rapport with all Practices. LocumDeck makes booking cover easier for practices who have come to rely on its service, especially given the current staffing levels within general practice. The value of the new contract is PS57,300 (exclusive of VAT). The value of the previous contract was PS80,000 (excluding VAT). Therefore, the total cumulative value of the contract since it started on 1st September 2021 will be PS137,300 (excluding VAT).
