Brighton Station Health Centre - Primary Care Hub - RFI

Description

Brighton Station Health Centre - Primary Care Hub Brighton and Hove NHS Sussex Request for Information (RFI) The Commissioner is seeking the views of Healthcare Providers in relation to the provision of a Primary Care Hub at Brighton Station Health Centre. The Commissioner is considering a contract period of between five and nine years, this remains subject to finalisation. Important: The Primary Care Hub comprises two distinct elements, each with its own specification: 1) The GP List, and 2) Walk-in service. Our aim is to present these components as a single combined lot in the tender, to achieve economies of scale for the provider, and oversight and supervision for the walk-in service by the APMS registered list clinicians. The contractor will provide Primary Care services to those patients registered with the Brighton Station Health Centre in accordance with the APMS contract 2023/24, with annual contract variations as published by NHS England. In addition to the registered list of patients, the Brighton Station walk-in service aims to offer effective and rapid primary care access to a range of patients who present to the premises in need of urgent primary care services. This will be provided in a timely way to reduce the need to access Urgent Treatment Centre and Emergency Departments, between the hours of 08:00 and 20:00, seven days a week. The commissioners are considering an overall annual indicative budget of between £2,495,000 (five years with the option of two years extension) and £2,473,000 (seven years with the option of two years extension) including an annual pass through of circa £378k. The provider will ensure the service is fully integrated with local general practice, Sussex NHS 111/CAS, UTCs and the wider Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) system, and the local voluntary and community sector. The service will include care navigation and social prescribing services. Patients will be navigated by staff to the most appropriate health, social care or housing services for their needs. This needs to include a Make Every Contact Count approach to help ensure effective signposting. Until 15th December, we are extending an invitation to interested parties to respond to this RFI.
