Health services

Tender description

City and Hackney CCG intends to award a contract for face to face GP Out of Hours consultation activity to the City and Hackney urgent healthcare social enterprise (CHUHSE) who is the current provider of these healthcare services in the local area. The contract is for a short period of 8 months to allow time for a review of local urgent care services. City and Hackney CCG intends to award a contract for face to face GP Out of Hours consultation activity to City and Hackney urgent healthcare social enterprise (CHUHSE) using a negotiated procedure without prior publication. CHUHSE is the current provider of GP OOH F2F appointments in the local area. C&H CCG is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of all urgent care services with the aim of developing a new model of integrated urgent primary care providing access to urgent primary care across the 24 hour period from Apr 2019 onwards. The award of a contract is to cover the Aug 2018 to Mar 2019 period; after this time a contract for a substantive service will be put in place. The CCG believe CHUHSE is the only provider capable of delivering the service over a short term period. The CCG believe that even if a provider already has these services at another site, mobilising them in the CCG area and building relationships with local providers would not be possible by Aug 2018.
