The Any Qualified Provider (AQP) model is an accreditation process underpinned by a 'call-off' of a Provider's services determined according to patient choice. There are a large number of patients treated for ENT conditions every year. It is estimated that approximately 6,500 ENT outpatient appointments are attended every year in West Essex. Reducing unnecessary referrals into secondary care should prove to be cost effective, as well as delivering high-quality care in the community and increasing patient choice. The service seeks to provide a safe and effective high quality Micro Suction Service which avoids unnecessary hospital attendances for patients who can be managed in a community / primary care setting. The evaluation process has concluded with the contract being awarded. Additional information: The contract was awarded to Uttlesford Health Ltd. The CCG may decide to reopen the approved list on an annual basis to add further providers to the AQP list. The value identified is a maximum potential value available across the contract period. ## CPV classification Health services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/cd59487d-93b8-48f7-b512-5854081f7643) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
