We are looking for complete management of local enhanced service delivery via an IT platform.

We would be grateful if you could provide us with a quote for the service outline based on approximately 271 Pharmacies.

• Uploading of accreditation for Enhanced Services by providers
• Availability of reports
• Provision of monthly claim data to allow payments via the local payment system
• Facility to accredit providers to specific services

The data management system will be web based and have the ability to capture patient data in a secure manner; there will be safeguards in place to protect data and to ensure that the user will only provide services which they have been accredited by the commissioner.
• The developer will keep the software compliant with legislative and legal requirements such as GDPR and NHS data standards
• Support via telephone and email will be available to users between core working hours
