## About this tender

NHS Brent, Harrow and Ealing Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) are considering its future Commissioning Strategy for the Provision of a collaborative Community Dermatology Service.

The intermediate Community Dermatology service will provide high quality, consultant - governed care for registered adults and children who have an acute or chronic dermatological condition that is appropriate for management within an intermediate care setting in line with agreed referral criteria.

The specific outcomes of the service are:

â&#128;¢ To deliver rapid access and streamlined care for patients with dermatological conditions

â&#128;¢ To treat patients at the most appropriate location

â&#128;¢ To provide quick and timely access, timely diagnostic tests and effective treatments for patients

â&#128;¢ To offer patients a maximum waiting time of 4 weeks and deliver on the national 18 week referral to treatment target

â&#128;¢ To provide advice, support and education to GPs and other appropriate Health Care Professionals in managing dermatological conditions.

â&#128;¢ To improve the patient care pathway to deliver measurable benefits for patients including improved patient experience

â&#128;¢ To ensure appropriate management of onward referrals to secondary care services.

â&#128;¢ To ensure patients are seen by the right clinician at the right time

â&#128;¢ To promote self-management strategies for patients with dermatological conditions

Additional information: Should the CCG opt to proceed with a competitive procurement process for the delivery of this service, it is anticipated that a contract will be awarded for 3 years to the appointed provider with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years at their discretion. The expected service commencement date is anticipated to be March 2019. The annual value of the contract is estimated at Â£1,900,000 per year, the total contract value over 5 years is estimated at Â£9,500,000.

The CCG anticipates publishing a Contract Notice to commence procurement during May 2018.
