## Description
NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (GM ICB) is currently developing their Service Specification, contracting process and commercial model for The Provision of an Integrated Urgent Care Model in Salford.
The model should align urgent and unscheduled care services enabling a flexible approach to meet demand.
The services should include:
• a Local Clinical Assessment Service (LCAS) which operates 24/7 managing NHS 111 calls as part of urgent care by appointment including all primary care dispositions requiring response within 1 hour.
• Primary Care Streaming at the front door of the Emergency Department in Salford, originally operational 8am-8pm but extended to 8am-midnight at times of system pressure as a winter resilience scheme
• GP Out of Hours (GPOOH) providing cover 6.30pm to 8am
This Market Engagement seeks the views and opinions of those organisations that may be interested in delivering all of the Services outlined in the Draft Specification document.
This exercise and any subsequent responses are in no way legally binding on any party.
Participation in the engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement; however, responses received will assist to inform the Contracting Authority as to the level of interest from the market and will be used to evidence a decision as to whether or not to undertake a competitive procurement.
