City and Hackney CCG Primary Care Enhanced Services

The clinical services that will be consolidated within this contract are Phlebotomy, Post-Operative Wound Care, Anticoagulation, Mental Health, Duty Doctor, Proactive Care, End of Life Care, Early Years, London Term Conditions, and Extended Access. The services will cover 100% of the population of Hackney and the City of London.

City and Hackney was one of the London Devolution pilot sites and has established integrated commissioning arrangements where the local healthcare providers, including the City & Hackney GP Confederation, are part of the governance structure.

The City and Hackney GP Confederation is the body that local GPs have chosen to use to consolidate the local primary care Enhanced Services, reduce variation between practices and every practice is a member of the GP Confederation.

For these reasons the CCG's current conclusion is that the City and Hackney GP Confederation is the only provider capable of delivering these Enhanced Services and that purchasing these services from the City and Hackney GP Confederation is the best way to make use of local assets to improve social value and improve the health of the local population. Therefore the CCG intends to negotiate directly with the GP Confederation for the award of a single contract. The CCG would welcome engagement with organisations with an interest in this contract before contract award.
