Chorley and South Ribble and Greater Preston CCGs commission health services for around 385 000 residents and are inviting expressions of interest from providers to deliver a Tier 2 Community Gynaecology Service which will incorporate triage, assessment and treatment. This will serve as an alternative to hospital based treatment for the majority of patients being referred by GPs for gynaecology services. The service will offer local, accessible, high quality care that would allow for appropriate signposting and in most cases treatment of gynaecological conditions. The service will integrate with local GPs and Acute Specialist Services and should also have full responsibility for all operational management, administrative, staffing and training requirements and all associated costs.

In summary, the CCGs wish to procure the following:

High quality, confidential ‘one-stop-shop' gynaecology services which are clinically appropriate to be managed in a primary care setting.

Bids will be evaluated in accordance with the 'The Most Economically Advantageous Tender' approach — full evaluation criteria and weightings between quality and price are available in the ITT documentation.

The successful provider will be required to sign the relevant national NHS contract for the service, accepting all terms and conditions.

Candidates wishing to be considered must register their expression of interest and provide additional procurement-specific information (by completing an ITT) through the portal as follows:
