Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust are establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System for use by NHS Trusts in Somerset, for the provision of clinical service providers to support waiting list initiatives and ad hoc service capacity issues. These initiatives tend to be required at short notice for a minimum of 3 months, although some services may be outsourced for a shorter or longer period of time. Health providers deliver NHS funded clinical services under the terms of the NHS Standard Contract. It is becoming increasingly common for health providers to sub-contract delivery of certain clinical services to a third party. This subcontracting can take many forms. It can be the sub-contracting of an entire service or of delivery of part of a care pathway. It can be the sub-contracting to one sub-contractor or to multiple sub-contractors. Information about the NHS Standard contract and Sub contracting can be found at [england.nhs.uk](https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-standard-contract/17-18/) Clinical specialities/clinical services may be included, but are not limited to the following clinical services: Orthopaedic surgery (Joints - hips/knees & hands), Urology, General Surgery, Maxillofacial surgery Ophthalmology, Phacoemulsification cataract extraction and lens implant, Audiology (hearing tests) , Endoscopy, Lithotripsy, Termination of pregnancy, Radiology services (MRI and Cardiac MRI scans, Duplex Scanning). Histopathology reporting. Mini competitions will be run from the Dynamic Purchasing System which will reflect the specific clinical service requirements in order to ensure that the sub-contract provider will: - meet quality requirements, - meet relevant conditions from Terms and Conditions of the NHS Standard Contract, - reflect the NHS price for the service - provide assurances that they are capable of delivering the agreed service requirements that have been set - comply with any referral protocols.
