        "description": "ESNEFT Acute CDC Phlebotomy was originally commissioned by NEE CCG/SNEE ICB as a <br/>Variation to their PES contract with GPPC. In 2023 ESNEFT were informed they would need <br/>to commission the service as it would no longer be included in the PES Contract as a variation. <br/>At this time the GPPC PES contract was due to expire in late October 2023 and the SNEE <br/>ICB intentions post this date had not been defined. As the service worked well for both parties <br/>and the patients within the community benefited from a single delivery location not just for <br/>Acute Phlebotomy/Community GP Phlebotomy, they were also delivering other services for <br/>NEECS and Acute. In the interim GPPC were direct awarded a 6-month contract under <br/>Waiver with a further 6-month contract under PSR Option C to allow time for SNEE ICB to <br/>consider their options on their PES commissioning. SNEE ICB have extended their contract <br/>PES contract with GPPC until September 2026. Additional information: PSR Direct Award Process C",

    "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",
