Yorkshire and the Humber (Y&H) covers a population of approximately 5.4 million people and covers an area of 15,000sqKM.
Twenty one (21) CCGs across 3 Sustainability Transformation Partnerships (STPs) and 1 Shadow Integrated Care System (ICS) together with NHS England seek to jointly commission Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) services for the entire Y&H footprint. A national specification was published in August 2017 following a period of consultation and confirmed that integrating urgent care brings about an "Opportunity to deliver a model of urgent care access that can streamline and improve patient care across the urgent care community" (National Specification 2017).
Organisations participating in the procurement of IUC services are listed within Appendix 2.

The Y&H Commissioners are seeking a regional NHS 111 telephony and call handling service as part of a virtual CAS. The virtual CAS will provide a regional "Core CAS" working collaboratively and aligned with a range of providers via connections with local CAS services.
