Under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Prospect Medical Practice (PMP) was selected for this service due to its unique capability and willingness to fully register patients and work flexibly with the in-patient team. The procurement process reached the contract award stage on 19 September 2024, and the contract's value is £14,520. The service falls under the health services category with a focus on low and medium security women's blended secure services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare provision, especially those offering integrated primary care services. With the emphasis on continuity of care and chronic disease management, companies with expertise in these areas could tap into this market. Smaller, local practices, similar to Prospect Medical Practice, demonstrated their value by addressing specific patient needs and demonstrating flexibility. Businesses that can offer comparable bespoke services, which align closely with NHS objectives, could find similar tender opportunities fruitful for growth and expansion. ## Notice Whitlingham ward is a 16 bed Women's Blended Secure Service (low and medium security) located at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich. The key aim and objective is to provide access to the same primary health care provision for the women in Whitlingham ward as is offered to the general population. This will include access to the national physical health screening programmes (cervical, breast and bowel cancer screening) and chronic disease management. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Whitlingham ward is a 16 bed Women's Blended Secure Service (low and medium security) located at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich. The key aim and objective is to provide access to the same primary health care provision for the women in Whitlingham ward as is offered to the general population. This will include access to the national physical health screening programmes (cervical, breast and bowel cancer screening) and chronic disease management. This contract award has been made under the provisions of the Provider Selection Regime - Direct Award A process. Additional information: Prospect Medical Practice is the only capable provider for this contract. They were the only local practice willing to fully register the patients and were open to flexible working with the in-patient team to ensure equity of access to all of the advantages of a primary care for the in-patients on Whitlingham ward. The in-patients have been registered with Prospect Medical Practice since May 2021. They have been called and recalled for national health screening programmes in the same way as the general public. The ward doctor and a named general practitioner have regular scheduled discussions about the patients' primary care needs. There is rapid access for advice outside of the schedule. The named general practitioner visits the ward by arrangement on a needs-led basis. The primary care record is maintained in order that there are no gaps as a result of the in-patients being in secure services for the longer term. All of the above result in continuity of primary care which is acknowledged to be vital to good clinical care and better health outcomes. Disruption of continuity of care when the process is working well and the needs of the in-patients are being met as well as being delivered within the planned cost envelope by the same provider is unnecessary and potentially harmful. ### Procurement Information 'This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031350-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £14,520 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR6 5BE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Broadland | | Electoral ward | Hellesdon North West | | Westminster constituency | Norwich North | | Delivery location | TLH15 Norwich and East Norfolk | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PROSPECT MEDICAL PRACTICE (PMP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 1 Oct 2024 at 12:07 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031350-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nsft.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
