CDC Phlebotomy service - PSR
- East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05969a
Description
Our current contract with GPPC is set to expire on 30th September 2025. In previous <br/>discussions, we have expressed an interest in extending this contract to align with the end <br/>date of GPPC's agreement with the ICB. The aim is to synchronise timelines and better align <br/>strategic intentions moving forward.<br/>We are very satisfied with the service GPPC is providing. They are consistently exceeding <br/>expectations, delivering over 1,300 blood tests per week. The co-location of the blood <br/>service across primary and secondary care has proven to be both practical and beneficial.<br/>That said, we are also interested in exploring the feasibility of running an in-house pathology <br/>service. However, with the upcoming implementation of EPIC in October 2025, we feel now is <br/>not the appropriate time to initiate such a change. To allow us the necessary time to consider <br/>a longer-term strategy for delivering the blood service, we are proposing a 6-month PSR <br/>award. This would give us the space to evaluate future options, while recognising that GPPC <br/>also provide additional services at the CDC, including 24 hour tapes and Dermoscopy
