This tender, which is currently in the planning stage, is set to take place at Birmingham Heartlands and Good Hope Hospitals. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest by 17:00 on the 6th September 2022. This opportunity is classified under general public services (CPV code: 75110000) and aims to enhance primary care service provision at these healthcare facilities. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in emergency care and urgent treatment provision. Suppliers who can demonstrate capacity to deliver primary care support, including a flexible staffing model and operational proposals for 7-day service coverage, will be well-positioned to compete. Companies focused on innovative healthcare delivery models, alongside those that can ensure high-quality patient care and effective collaboration with existing hospital teams, are encouraged to take part in this procurement process. ## Notice provision of a Primary Care / GP service to be based at Birmingham Heartlands (BHH) and Good Hope Hospitals (GHH). ### Lot Information Lot 1 A significant proportion of self-attending patients present to the Emergency Departments (ED) at UHB with conditions that are able to managed within primary care. Whilst measures are in place to re-direct many of these patients back into primary care are in action, given the absence of an Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) on these sites, there is always likely to be the need for provision of primary care services. The successful provider will: * see patients after initial nurse navigation into the primary care stream, working alongside the ED team to see the right patient, in the right place, first time; * have access to bedside and point of care testing as per national UTC specification, including Blood glucose testing, urine dip, pregnancy testing, ECG, venous blood gas testing which includes Haemoglobin, lactate and electrolytes. Where same day radiology imaging is felt to be required, access to plain film imaging is available, any other modality would be via discussion with the ED consultant; * review patients across the full age spectrum; * not be expected to see patients presenting with an injury; * be able to refer as per in the primary care to any receiving specialty using standard referral into Trust processes; * deal with any patient complaints or reported incidents in the first instance with the ED 'consultant of the day' maintaining ownership of any significant incidents etc. The staffing model of the successful provider can consist of a combination of doctors and Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENP), but as a minimum should include one doctor on site at any one time. There is a need to deliver 7 day provision at BHH and 3 days per week at GHH. Providers are invited to propose operating times, the number of patients that can be seen in any one day, and related costs. Subsequent to further ongoing discussions with commissioners, there may be scope to extend GHH to 7 days per week and also potentially to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH)". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021083-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 Sep 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS BIRMINGHAM NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 2WB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Edgbaston | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Edgbaston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75110000 - General public services ## Release History - 2 Aug 2022 at 11:09 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021083-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.uhb.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
