Description

The second round of funding is for 2019-20 to progress the work started in year one and to support the development of Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
In 2018-19 the Wandsworth funding was allocated to BHCIC the GP Federation to complete an initial scoping exercise for developing PCAS across the borough and to then develop and implement an action plan which included a number of workstreams around workforce, business intelligence and back office functions. The Federation are also currently supporting practices with forming Primary Care Networks.
The 2019-20 allocation is to be used to support PCN development and a population health approach.

Additional text

Direct Award to BHCIC for 1 year. BHCIC have already delivered on year one of the programme and as such have established relationships with the local practices around this workstream. They also have ongoing projects from year one which are still being delivered on. The high level guidance for the 2019-20 PCAS funding states this is to be used to support PCN development, and the GP Federation as the provider, are already working with the CCG and practices to form their PCNs, and to look at what ongoing support they may need once they are established. Recognising its obligations and responsibilities under the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition)(No.2) Regulations 2013, the CCG has assessed the most appropriate route to awarding this contract, having regard to the necessity to progress PCN development whilst building on progress already achieved, and has concluded that the selected provider will assure the safest solution and being considered the only technically capable provider.
