NHS Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (BNSSG CCG) wishes to procure a Deep Vein Thrombosis Service (DVT) for service users registered with a BNSSG GP. The aim is to establish a standardised BNSSG DVT pathway for adults presenting in general practice with a suspected DVT.

The objectives of the Service are to:
• improve patient care and experience by minimising the number of hand offs between clinical teams, to direct access scans
• reduce unnecessary referrals, investigations and treatment
• reduce variation in DVT assessment and management across BNSSG and provide a consistent approach
• provide a quality service that is cost effective
• support primary care through the use of a fast and easy to use electronic referral mechanism for requesting urgent scans, and for electronic reporting of scan outcomes integrated into the GP clinical system
• provide ultrasound and outpatient services at a minimum of 3 locations, using locations which minimise travel times for patients from across North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Bristol

The DVT full pathway requires initial assessment in primary care and where indicated direct access to scans provided by a specialist provider who will also manage all positive DVT patients. This service is for the provision of direct access scans and the management of the positive DVT patients which will include initiation of treatment, patient education, further investigations where indicated (for unprovoked DVTs) and a management plan back to the GP which includes length of treatment, results of additional investigations and ongoing management plan.

The contract(s) will be for an initial term of 3 years from 01/04/2019, with a possible extension of any period (or periods) up to a further 2 years, as defined at the discretion of the CCG.

The CCG has an annual budget available of approximately £500,000 (excluding. VAT). This is based on current National Tariffs and anticipated activity. The National Tariffs identified do not include the element of Market Forces Factor (MFF) which will be reimbursed under the terms of the National Tariff Payment System (NTPS).

This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Interested providers will be able to view this notice via the 'current tenders' list on the e-procurement portal (In-tend).
