## About this tender

Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG are publishing this call for competition, for community dermatology services for the Southampton City Locality only for a period of two years. A two year contract is required in the Southampton City locality to allow the HSIOW CCG to undertake a review of the community dermatology model and services from August 2023 in order to cover an interim period due to the following upcoming changes:

The Southampton locality currently has a Community Dermatology service model, which was commissioned by the previous Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). In April 2021, the Southampton City CCG merged with five other local CCGs to become part of a single Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG (HSIOW CCG). In July 2022, the HSIOW CCG will in turn be dissolved with its functions transferring into a new HSIOW Integrated Care System (ICS).

The integration of CCGs and establishment of the ICS provides an opportunity to establish a service improvement approach across a wider geography, in order to deliver improved outcomes, experience and efficiency. As such, this has the potential to change the landscape and alter requirements, as does the lessons being learned from the Covid-19 pandemic, which has resulted in different ways of working and patient/clinical behaviours.

In respect of the Dermatology service specifically, our intention is to undertake a thorough review of the current service model and provision, encompassing service redesign and reconfiguration options, and population insights, as well as looking to the market for innovations in Dermatology services. This review will inform longer term commissioning strategies and potential tender opportunities for Community Dermatology.

As a result, the Authority intends to award a two-year contract for Community Dermatology in Southampton.

The Service will;

- Deliver a comprehensive Community GPwER Dermatology Service which delivers appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment of patients in a community setting
- Provide a higher level of knowledge, experience and skill than usually found or expected in Primary Care therefore not duplicating services provided by an element of the core GMS/PMS contracted activity of through Direct Enhanced Services for Minor Surgery Agreements.
- Relieve pressure on acute Dermatology services at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, particularly for suspected cancer referrals by forming close working relationships and pathways of care with the local Trust, ensuring only those patients requiring secondary care interventions are referred on
- Continually improve quality and patient experience with reduced waiting times and delivery of one stop assessment, diagnosis and treatment services for all patients where appropriate

The Southampton locality includes all practice registered patients within the city. This population is served by 6 PCNs representing 26 GP practices operating across 37 locations to provide primary care services. The approximate population of Southampton is 291,000.

This notice is an opportunity to express an interest in the delivery of the interim contact, however if no expressions of interest are received from alternative providers, the CCG intends to extend the contract with its incumbent providers to ensure service continuity whilst the service review is undertaken, under the Regulation 32 exemption from procurement if no expressions of interest are received.

It is anticipated that the legal landscape governing procurement of NHS contracts is due to change in 2022. The CCG reserves the right to amend of abandon the procurement process in response to ay legislative changes that may occur.

Please note the contract value covers the total contract period of 24 months.

This new 24 month contract will be subject to TUPE of existing staff from the incumbent provider.
