Background
• NEL ICB has started the discovery phase of designing a new 111 model of care for our residents. Our current 111 Integrated Urgent Care (111 IUC) service contract is due to expire (new service start date to be confirmed)
• Given the changes during and after the Covid-19 pandemic to 111 services, NEL ICB is working to develop a new model that considers other key transformational deliverables across our sector, including the Fuller Review Recommendations and Same Day Access Services.
Engagement Event
The Authority plans to hold an in-person event on Thursday the 24th of October from 13:00 - 17:00
The Event will provide:
• An overview of the current and proposed service provision.
• Details of the anticipated contract type, length, and particular conditions.
• An overview of the proposed commissioning approach and procurement route.
• Indicative timescales for the procurement.
Registration
Reservations are limited to no more than 3 individuals per organisation.
Details of those to be invited must be sent to the Procurement Lead (kieran.james-paterson@nhs.net) using the registration form by Tuesday the 22nd of October at 14:00pm.
Further information on the event will then be provided to those who express an interest in attending.
Questionnaire
An engagement questionnaire is also available.
We are reaching out to the market and connected individuals to better understand your views of 111 in general; and to also understand what directly impacts organisational decisions to bid for potential new services.
We are looking for responses to support us in transforming 111 for the future and appreciate your time in completing this survey.
