Tender description

Service providers are sought to deliver the Productive general practice quick start (PGPQS) programme in England. PGPQS forms a significant part of the time for care (TfC) programme delivered by NHS England’s Sustainable Improvement Team in its delivery of local support to general practice. Between Autumn 2016 and March 2019 over 1 700 practices (out of a total of 7 000+) have received the PGPQS support package. In order to service a national TfC commission that will encourage the participation of all general practices across England. A number of ‘Delivery Partners’ (DPs) will be required to deliver PGPQS. The number of practices to be supported each year is subjected to different factors and whilst no guarantees can be made, we would estimate around 400 to 600 practices per annum would receive the PGPQS package. Delivery Partners (DP’s) were sought to deliver the Productive general practice quick start (PGPQS) Programme in England. PGPQS is an on-site, hands-on, short term support package for general practice that forms part of a local time for care programme. It aims to help practices release time for care, build improvement capability and improve collaboration with other practices. The programme offers hands on support in-practice, from an experienced improvement facilitator. Support is usually given over an eight-week period and includes group sessions with other local practice teams to share improvements and ideas.
