The current proposal is to award to Partnering Health Limited (PHL) the IUC CAS between the hours of 22:00 - 08:00 7 days a week 365 days per year for a period of 4 years with the option for a further 1+1 years from June 1st 2022.

This decision supports the development of general practice at scale, ensures integration with enhanced access, and takes the opportunity to invest in general practice sustainability today and transformation tomorrow making the service better for patients and health practitioners.

This decision further supports the Portsmouth system infrastructure, ensuring that expertise in delivering CAS provision overnight is retained within the local delivery system and economies of scale can be realised.

Utilising PHL overnight invests in our local workforce by supporting local GPs, which in turn supports local practices - Improves access to primary care and expands capacity, increasing the numbers of appointments available.

Local providers located and hosted in the locality in which they work in hours, supports the investment in our local workforce.

Aligning the contract duration with the HSH IUC service keeps future integration possible. It also allows future procurements to be conducted together providing greater flexibility in service provision and options for the system.

Continued local commissioning of the CAS allows the South Eastern local delivery system to respond faster to any system pressures.

The delivery of an IUC is a key component of the Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG. A period of collaboration with existing system partners will help establish new system transformations and provide assurance in the most efficient model of provision for long-term commissioning arrangements.

Contracting with an existing at scale primary care provider from the Portsmouth and South Eastern Hampshire local delivery system allows for economies of scale to be realised, while retaining local knowledge. PHL is already a part of the HSH IUC contract and therefore retains both local knowledge as well as wider system knowledge.

Post pandemic demand and activity figures are uncertain. This uncertainty has implications for staffing provision and financial envelopes. It is felt that a competitive procurement under these circumstances presents an unnecessary risk for both providers and or commissioners.

Time constraints also provide a challenge for commissioners in terms of a procurement process however, assurances on continuity of service are needed to allow transformation and investment.

As an existing primary care provider in the PSEH locality as well as Hampshire as a whole, PHL have the infrastructure and the expertise in place to deliver this service at short notice.

The financial envelope of the interim contract arrangement is £7,800,000 or £1.3m per annum (a breakdown can be found in Appendix A). This financial envelope is based upon predicted activity figures.

Should opportunities arise for external sources of funding during the interim contract term (for example, to pilot new models of care, or integrated IT platforms), these may be pursued by commissioners and / or providers; however, the assumption is that commissioners and providers will be working to the stated financial envelope.
