This initiative aims to extend existing hubs to support urgent care services aligning with national priorities for seven-day services. The contracts have been awarded to AT Medics, Enfield One Limited, Evergreen, and Federated4Health Ltd. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracts allow for extensions up to two years depending on the review outcomes, with a total value of over £5.5 million. This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses involved in delivering primary care and extended access support services within the health sector. Organisations with experience in providing continuity of care, rapid access solutions, and technology-driven appointment booking systems are well-suited to compete for contracts like these. The emphasis on aligning services with urgent care reviews and meeting national healthcare access priorities requires suppliers to demonstrate flexibility in service delivery and adherence to quality standards in primary care provision. ## Notice The NCL ICB is undertaking an Urgent Care Review with the aim of determining what our long-term requirements from Primary Care will be in terms of Extended Access support. To allow time for this review to conclude we are seeking to extend the existing hubs to allow time for the review to conclude and a new solution to be procured. The urgent care review aligns to the national priority for seven-day services from 8am-8pm. The GP Forward View sets out a vision for primary care that supports greater access. The NCL ICB has signed up to this commitment including: * Providing a choice of access and consultation options; such as prioritising continuity of care over rapid access, or wanting to book several weeks in advance * Only needing to make one call, click or contact to book an appointment, including better use of technology * The ability to access pre bookable routine and same day appointments with a GP or appropriately skilled nurse between 8am-6.30pm * The ability to be registered with a named GP * Rapid assessment in the case or urgent or emergency needs * The ability to have a pre bookable or same day appointment 8am-8pm, 7 days a week through the use of "hubs" The extension of these contracts will allow the services to align with the urgent care review to conclude and the new solution meeting these principles, with any amendments brought about by the review, to be procured. The contracts will be extended for 1 year with the option for a further year's extension should the review be delayed for any reason. ### Lot Information Primary Care Extended Access Hub - AT Medics The NCL ICB is undertaking an Urgent Care Review with the aim of determining what our long-term requirements from Primary Care will be in terms of Extended Access support.
