This is a contract to provide out-of-hours GP (doctor) services to patients in bedded rehabilitation units across Barnet. A provider has already been selected through a direct award process, so this is notification of a decision rather than an open tender you can bid for.
Requirements
- Must be able to provide GP medical support services
- Services must be available 6pm to 9am on weekdays
- Services must be available all day (24 hours) on weekends and bank holidays
- Must serve bedded rehabilitation units located in Barnet
- Must comply with The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023
- Likely requirement to hold appropriate GP registration and medical indemnity insurance (typical for GP services but not explicitly stated in notice)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide on-call or in-person GP medical support to rehabilitation unit patients outside standard 9am-6pm working hours
- Respond to medical needs of patients in bedded rehabilitation units in Barnet
- Cover weekday evenings (6pm-9am) and all weekend/bank holiday periods
- Maintain service availability across the entire contract period
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a Direct Award notice, not an open tender — the winner has already been chosen. You cannot bid unless you're the named provider or unless you find it re-tendered later.
- 2Check The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 to understand why direct award was used and what criteria applied.
- 3Note that standard UK procurement rules (Public Contract Regulations and Procurement Act) do NOT apply here — this is a special healthcare award process, so the usual tender processes don't govern this.
- 4The £70,000 lifetime value covers 12 months with an option to extend for another 12 months — clarify with the commissioner whether this is for one or two locations and how many patients you'd cover.
- 5Out-of-hours GP services are heavily regulated — ensure you understand CQC registration, safeguarding, and NHS indemnity requirements before engaging.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not the awarded provider, watch for the contract to be re-tendered after the extension period ends (March 2027). Direct awards often rotate, so build relationships with Barnet health commissioners now.
- If you are considering bidding on similar contracts, consider forming a consortium with established GP practices — they often have the infrastructure and registration needed to win healthcare direct awards.
- Out-of-hours GP work is specialist: ensure your team has experience with rehabilitation patient demographics (often older, complex medical needs) and compliance with NHS out-of-hours standards like response times.
