About

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit awarded a framework agreement to ID Medical Group Limited, Lantum Ltd, Midlands and Lancashire CSU, My Locum Manager, One Wirral CIC, Pairoo, Patchwork, and Practeus Ltd for the provision of Digital Flexible Pools to deploy sessional clinical capacity in primary care.

The framework, valued at AUD 20,000,000, enables practices to post available sessions and allows clinicians to indicate availability and select sessions, with the digital solution facilitating payments to sessional clinicians and processing payment information to GP practices.

Primarily focused on the deployment of GPs, the solution also supports other sessional clinical and non-clinical primary care roles as required locally.

The framework is available to Integrated Care Boards, Clinical Commissioning Groups, Primary Care Networks, and other relevant authorities, with a maximum of eight suppliers awarded contracts.

The initial duration is 24 months, with an option to extend for a further 24 months.
