Description
NHS Calderdale CCG (CCCG) is seeking to commission additional Interim Community Phlebotomy capacity from July 2021 until 31 March 2022.
This is due to the implications of delivering services within a hospital setting due to the ongoing COVID situation.
Specifically, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust have informed CCCG that blood tests will now take longer (previously 6, now 10 minute appointments) and that infection Prevention Control, Social distancing and Personal Protective Equipment requirements will mean a proportion of the annual Calderdale phlebotomy activity will not be undertaken at Huddersfield Royal infirmary.
The activity of this interim contract is based on a pro rata circa 41,000 venepunctures per annum.
Consequently, CCCG would like to support care closer to home by commissioning additional community phlebotomy capacity until 31 March 2022.
Requirements
The service will:
- Be available until at least 31 March 2022 for ambulatory patients.
- Be provided from Calderdale and wider community venue.
- Ensure access to a phlebotomist within an appropriate waiting time in accordance to the urgency of the tests required.
- Ensure access to a phlebotomist to compliment the transportation of samples to ensure tests are performed without undue delay.
- Ensure phlebotomists provide a Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm service, delivering 10 minute appointments for minimum six hours a day per chair.
- Be on an appointment basis - meaning from the start of the service the Provider(s) must offer IT bookable appointments for all Calderdale General Practices.
The Provider(s) will ensure:
- Appropriate Clinical oversight is provided for the service.
- The venue meets required safety, quality, infection, prevention and control standards and is registered as an additional Provider venue via CQC.
- Staff providing the services are suitably qualified and competent and that appropriate arrangements are in place for maintaining and updating relevant skills and knowledge for supervision.
- All premises and equipment used for the provision of service are at all times suitable for the delivery of those services and sufficient to meet the needs of the patient.
