Description

NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) is seeking to launch a new online purchasing system (technically known as a ‘Pseudo’ Dynamic Purchasing System or PDPS) where pre-approved GP providers can apply to join a list of pre-approved providers. Those providers approved to join the system can then be invited by local commissioners to bid to provide APMS services when local needs arise. The PDPS is a 4-year procurement exercise managed through a new e-procurement platform and will see: — GP providers appointed to an electronically managed list of approved providers, — GP providers can apply and be added to this list at any time during the 4-year period, unlike a traditional procurement framework, — once approved onto the PDPS, GP providers can be invited via the e-platform to respond to requests for APMS services from local commissioners. These local ‘call-offs’ will be matched to the bespoke needs of local commissioners.
