Location

Description

NHS England is conducting a framework procurement to implement Digital Flexible Pools for the deployment of sessional clinical capacity in primary care. This supports the delivery of Primary Care Flexible Staff Pools and will provide increased support to local systems in deploying their workforce. Suppliers are invited to offer a digital solution, deployable in local areas of the country, which enables practices to post available sessions, with individuals easily indicating their availability and selecting sessions that suit them. The digital solution must be able to make or facilitate payments to the sessional clinicians and process payment information to a GP Practice. The digital solution must be able to meet the requirements as outlined in the service specification. Primarily Digital Flexible Pools will focus on the deployment of GPs, but will also be required to support the deployment of other sessional clinical and sessional non-clinical primary care roles as required locally.
