Currently in the planning stage, this initiative aims to improve urgent care services. The market engagement will conclude on 23 February 2018, and the estimated contract value is £15 million, under the health and social work services category (CPV code: 85000000). This engagement is part of a broader effort to develop a more integrated urgent care service that accommodates urgent GP appointments as well as A&E visits. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for organisations within the healthcare sector, particularly those with expertise in urgent care and integrated health services. Companies that specialise in healthcare delivery, urgent care processes, and patient management systems would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. The initiative is intended to enhance patient experiences and clinical outcomes, making this a promising opportunity for businesses looking to engage with NHS services and expand their footprint in the health sector. ## Notice Each year the NHS provides around 110 million urgent same day patient contacts. Around 85 million of these are urgent GP appointments and the rest are A&E or minor injuries-type visits. Some estimates suggest that between 1.5 and 3 million people who attend A&E each year could have their needs addressed in other parts of the urgent care system. Early in 2017, NHS England and NHS Improvement published the Next Steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View which highlighted the importance of delivering a functionally integrated urgent care service to help address the fragmented nature of out-of-hospital services. Our aim is to provide care closer to people's homes and help tackle the rising pressures on all urgent care services (primary and hospital) and emergency admissions. The opportunity to improve the patient's experience of, and clinical outcomes from, urgent care is huge. NHS England has worked to develop a new national service specification for the provision of an integrated 24/7 urgent care access, clinical advice and treatment service, which incorporates NHS 111 call-handling and former GP out-of-hours services. This document, developed by South East London (SEL) Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) with input from wider stakeholders, builds on the specification developed by NHS England and is just the starting point to revolutionise the way in which urgent care services are provided and accessed.
