### Lot Information

Lot 1

Direct award of 12-month lead provider contract for operation of Walk-In Centre on the site of Dewsbury District Hospital to Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust.

### Procurement Information

Commissioners are confident that an award of a new contract to a single provider without advertisement is justified and are satisfied that the overall contract is capable of being provided only by that provider. The Commissioner's guiding principles being: * the requirement to commission services from those providers that are most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and improving the quality and efficiency of services, and that provide the best value for money in doing so. * the requirement to consider appropriate means of improving NHS health care services. The Commissioner has carried out a detailed review (as part of a wider review of long-term requirements) of the provision of this particular service in its local area in order to understand how this service can be improved in the short-term and, as part of that review, identified the most capable provider of this service. The proposal developed a recommendation in respect of the lead provider for the Kirklees WIC, for the 12-month period of this contract. The review identified the following benefits of identifying this provider as the lead provider: * The current Walk-In Centre is co-located on the MYTT estate within the Dewsbury District Hospital A&E department * The co-location is alongside the main urgent care A&E provision and patients will continue to have appropriate triage and relevant care provided by the most appropriate service. * The A&E and Walk in Centre teams and staff are already working collaboratively sharing internal processes to provide patient care * As lead provider MYTT will maintain collaborative approaches and ensure more flexibility of service and workforce provision and clinical expertise at times of pressure, such as winter. * Improved performance and finance management * This will aid future transformation and development of the future service model and delivery of the aims of the NHS Long Term Plan priorities. The purpose of this direct award of contract is to allow continuation of this service in the short term, in line with the developments of the Urgent Care Agenda. Work during 2023 has progressed at pace to enable an urgent care model to be agreed for implementation, recognising that this is a significant area of transformation which will need to be undertaken in several phases due to the current financial climate and existing contractual arrangements. In June 2023 it was agreed that whilst work to this point had been progressed collaboratively as a system, the priority development is in relation to the transformation of the existing Kirklees WIC. It is acknowledged that this phase of the programme needs to be developed in collaboration across the system, to ensure that the place WIC delivers consistent service outcomes to our populations and consistent access and pathways through our community and secondary care services. Whilst acknowledging the collaborative approach required to ensure robust system service delivery, work is also required at 'Kirklees' place to ensure continuity of the WIC provision from April 2024 and the implementation of the appropriate contractual arrangements. The award of contract would therefore maintain urgent care access for patients through the time of transformational change to service provision. This is a VEAT notice for the direct award of contract of 1 year to Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust.
