The service is being re-procured to facilitate transition to a new service model, effective from April 2018. Additionally, the Special Allocation Service (SAS) will be procured concurrently as part of this contract opportunity (albeit, with a later start date for the SAS contract of 3rd July 2018). The new service will deliver to the homeless population segment, also working with other practices in order to best support patients. For example, the practice will work with 'mainstream' practices to develop additional capabilities across primary care in supporting homeless patients' health and care needs. The practice will operate as a specialist primary care provider, expected to work at scale alongside other general practices as part of a Primary Care Home model- as set out in Central London CCG's Primary Care Strategy. In order to support this, the specification for the service has been redesigned to include responsibility to collaborate and to promote better integration of services, particularly other homeless health services. The specialist service is now being re-commissioned in an outcomes-based way with a focus on: • Preventing avoidable A&E attendances and secondary care admissions • Integration with 'mainstream' practices as part of developing primary care at scale • Integration with the specialist community nursing service (through co-location, staff secondment and joint CLCH/ practice management) • Safe and person-centred transitions of patients to mainstream practices in a care planned and managed way • Ambition to integrate the practice into wider homeless day services through co-location at a central London day centre and service provider for homeless people - thereby significantly enhancing access and the wider offer Central London CCG (the Authority) is therefore seeking to identify a suitable provider of Primary Care GP Services to undertake this contract in London for Great Chapel Street Practice based in the London Borough of Westminster.
