Special Allocations Scheme Early Engagement Workshop

Special Allocation Scheme

NHS England working with London Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) Commissioners wish to engage with the provider market on the development of the Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) service in London and what this service may look like. We would therefore wish to meet with suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers (including general practitioners, social enterprise / third sector organisations and other providers) with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to discuss the SAS primary medical care services as set out in the published service specifications. The event will be held in London on 17th December 2018, please see below for further details and confirmation on how to book a place.

Please ensure you read all attachments before responding to this advert.

Engagement Event

The outcomes of the engagement event will support discussions on the most appropriate commissioning route for this service within London. To facilitate these discussions, we would like interested parties to attend 1:1 table discussions on 17th December at Euston tower, London. Exact timings are yet to be agreed and will be determined by the number of interested parties, i.e. if we have a large number of providers interested in the event we may hold an AM and PM session, however if the numbers are manageable in 1 session, we will hold an am session only.

To facilitate discussions, we request that all attending organisations complete our survey and return it back to us via the portal by 11th December. Only those that have completed our very short survey will be guaranteed a place at the event. These surveys will help us gather some preliminary information and aid in discussions on the day.

Expressing an interest.

Organisations who wish to attend the event on 17th December 2018 should register by 11th December via england.london-procurement@nhs.net returning the short survey that is attached to the advert. The advert contain, The survey, The specification and background information that will outline the approach being taken and information about the SAS services in each of the STP areas.
