Pre-Information Notice - GP Online Service for Leicester City CCG

Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM CSU) on behalf of Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCCG) would like to inform the market of a potential future opportunity for a GP Online Service.

The service is likely to be commissioned as a pilot, as part of the Leicester GP Federations successful Prime Minister Challenge Fund bid (PMCF). The aim of the service is to provide extended access to primary care via an online doctor service. This will enable testing of this model of delivering treatments to patients outside of the traditional model for primary care services.

Broader aims and objectives are to

• improve local capacity so patients can be seen and treated promptly for eight specific conditions
• improve patient experience
• improve local access for specific conditions
• to sign post, or transfer patients to the relevant services as appropriate.
• allow local NHS providers and commissioners to use resources effectively within the health economy.

The commissioners would like to gain an understanding of the level of market interest for this service and therefore ask suitably qualified providers to express an interest in this potential opportunity.

To express an interest please provide the following details via email to LLRProcurement@gemcsu.nhs.uk before 17:00, Friday 5th June 2015:

• Name of delegate
• Job title of delegate
• Organisation details, including address
