Provision of Integrated Community Urgent Care Services for the Areas of Barking and Dagenham, Redbri

Descriptions

Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge and Havering (BHR) Clinical Commissioning Groups have stated their intention to commission a new model of urgent care services for the BHR areas. To help people access the right care, right place, first time and to simplify the urgent care pathway, local urgent care will have just 2 points of access and a consistent name for services:1) Bookable services accessed through 111 CAS;2) Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs). Services will be delivered from 12 sites in total including 4 UTCs (2 hospital sites, 2 community sites) accessible to walk-in patients or bookable via 111 CAS. A further 8 locations will support bookable appointments accessed via 111 CAS. The 111 CAS has already been commissioned. Therefore, the focus of this commission will be to contract for the provision of urgent care services at the 12 sites, to be fully operational by the end of June 2020. Based upon 2018/19 pricing, the indicative annual contract value will be circa 10-14 000 000 GBP.
