Integrated Urgent Care Framework Agreement with Yorkshire
Ambulance Service NHS Trust
Additional 12-month Contract Extension with Vale of York
Clinical Commissioning Group
Total value circa GBP6.6m
Totally plc (AIM: TLY), the provider of a range of healthcare
services across the UK and Ireland, is pleased to report that
Vocare Ltd has, after a competitive process, been awarded a place
on the regional Integrated Urgent Care Clinical Support Framework
hosted by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust ("YAS").
Vocare, part of Totally's Urgent Care division and a wholly
owned subsidiary, has been chosen as the qualified provider to YAS
under the new NHS framework agreement to undertake Emergency
Department ("ED") validations and redirection in collaboration with
YAS's Yorkshire and Humber Integrated Urgent Care/NHS 111 service.
Vocare's practitioners will clinically assess calls that have been
taken by NHS 111 and subsequently triage patients to appropriate
alternate healthcare services in the region, supporting patient
flow and ensuring that the patients that need to be seen in the ED
are appropriately directed.
The new framework agreement commences on 1 April 2021 and runs
to 31 March 2024. The agreement, which is on a call-off basis and
dependent on call volumes, is worth up to c. GBP2.7m over the
framework term. Under the initial draw-down contract for 2021/22
Vocare will provide up to 64,000 ED validations. Draw-down
contracts for subsequent years will be agreed in line with regional
service requirements.
Additionally, Vocare has been selected as one of a small number
of qualified framework providers for local Clinical Assessment
Services in each of the Yorkshire ICS geographies (West Yorkshire
and Harrogate, South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, and Humber, Coast and
Vale). The initial dialogue under this framework has commenced and
Totally will update the market as appropriate as these discussions
progress.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service provides services to 19 clinical
commissioning groups, serving a population of over five million
people across an area of nearly 6,000 square miles of Yorkshire and
the Humber.
About Integrated Care Systems ("ICS")
As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, ICSs are new partnerships
between the organisations that meet health and care needs across an
area, to coordinate services and to plan in a way that improves
population health and reduces inequalities between the
organisations. This is as part of a wider move towards the more
efficient provision of care, whereby the NHS can identify their
preferred providers and work with them proactively to deliver
services going forward, without the need for a procurement process
for each service. This reduces time spent on tender processes,
allowing the NHS to better and more quickly respond to local needs
and requirements as they change over time.
Vale of York CCG contract extension
Totally is also pleased to report that Vocare has been awarded a
12-month contract extension for the provision of GP out of hours
and minor injuries services to Vale of York Clinical Commissioning
Group ("Vale of York CCG"). The contract extension is valued at c.
GBP3.9m and during this time Totally will continue to work in
partnership with local providers to deliver high quality healthcare
services to the local population.
Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said: "We are delighted to be
one of the first organisations chosen to be a preferred provider of
Emergency Department validations for the NHS as part of this shift
towards the new ICS framework. Being one of the few selected as
part of this competitive process is testament to the hard work of
our staff and the quality of services we provide in the region.
"As the NHS moves away from large public sector tendering for
services it is looking to be quicker and more efficient in
responding to shifts in demand across the country and, as such, is
looking to appoint partners that it can proactively work with going
forward, without the need for lengthy procurement processes. Having
been selected as one of these providers, Totally can now rapidly
mobilise services in response to the shifting demands of YAS
without needing to go through further formal processes.
"I am also delighted to announce another contract extension with
Vale of York CCG for the provision of services in the region. Our
staff continue to work tirelessly alongside the NHS and the quality
of the care we offer is reflected in the NHS's confidence in our
service provision up and down the country."
