Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group - Integrated Urgent Care Service GP Out of Hours Service in Trafford

NHS Trafford CCG is inviting suitably qualified and experienced Healthcare Providers to submit tenders for the provision of GP Out of Hours (GP OOH) Integrated Urgent Care Services. The CCG have a vision for their GP Out of Hours as part of an integrated single model of urgent care across the whole health economy, providing a high-quality clinical service with a clear patient centred focus. This service will be co-located with an Urgent Treatment Centre for Trafford, providing seamless 24 hour primary care led urgent care services, working in partnership with Primary Care in hours, extended access and digital access.

The CCG will procure a single service that will work closely alongside and integrate service delivery with the North West NHS 111 service, in line with the national expectations for an integrated delivery model. In the North West we have a delivery model whereby the NHS 111 service is delivered by the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) at a regional level and which then works in an integrated and seamless manner with the sub-regional delivery of 'out of hours' primary care services.

The main aim of the service is to provide evidence based urgent primary care which optimises health and wellbeing and reduces the impact of ill health during the out of hours period, avoiding where possible the need for acute care.

The CCG is seeking to engage high-quality providers with experienced delivery and leadership in 'out of hours' services / integrated urgent care, with demonstrable capability in managerial and clinical performance that will ensure a safe, clinically effective and affordable service for our patients.

In line with Public Contract Regulations, the CCG are tendering their requirements with the intention to award a single core contract, supplemented by some local service variation and requirements.
