Primary Care-Led Hub in Hastings NHS/SOEPS/21.822 RFI

Descriptions

NHS East Sussex CCG are finalising their intentions for the commissioning of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) and or appropriate Health Care Professional led Primary Care Hub (PCH) service. An interim service has been running since 01/08/20 under the proof of concept model but did not include an outreach and GP drop in clinic provision. The service will primarily support key vulnerable groups identified within the EHIA (Lone parents, Homeless, Rough Sleepers (including those in temporary accommodation), Veterans and their Carers) and enable a much more tailored approach, improve accessibility and ensure better health outcomes for this groups of patients. It is anticipated that the service would be offered for tender under a standard NHS contract for 3yrs commencing 01/08/22 with option to extend for a maximum of a further 2yrs. The purpose of this RFI is to gauge market interest and feedback for the provision of Primary Care Led Hub in Hastings primarily for Key Vulnerable Groups and provide the CCGs with valuable information to help update and improve the current service specification. If you would like to discuss any aspects of the requirements please send a portal message suggesting a date/time for a telephone conversation. Please return the completed RFI form as an attachment to a correspondence message in the e-tendering portal by 5pm on 21/10/21.
