## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit is procuring a Referral Quality Improvement Scheme (Triage) service for Chorley, South Ribble, and Greater Preston CCGs. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract expected to run from 1st November 2017 to 31st October 2019.

## Notice

NHS Chorley & South Ribble and Greater Preston CCGs - Clinical Triage service - L-17-18 NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) are working on behalf of Chorley & South Ribble and Greater Preston CCGs who wish to procure a Referral Quality Improvement Scheme (Triage) service for patients living in the area. Clinical Triage is a way of monitoring; directing and appropriately managing patient referrals with the aim of ensuring that the most clinically effective and cost-effective outcomes are achieved, whilst at the same time respecting patients' rights to choice (as defined in the NHS Constitution).

The clinical triage role will be undertaken by GPs registered with the GMC, with extensive knowledge and experience of local pathways and healthcare providers.
