description: The commercial area in South Denes,Great Yarmouth consists of a large number of sites and operations in a variety of states of serviceability,open vacant sites, buildings requiring demolition/refurbishment,good quality building stock.The area does not have a significantly high profile, not well signposted, or recognised as an important gateway commercial and employment area within the renewable energy sector at national or international level, despite Great Yarmouth’s significant contribution to the energy sector within the UK.There is demand for commercial and employment sites,but looking at the potential for occupancy and values,there is no overall framework to evaluate the best usage of individual or combined sites,or to see if there are opportunity gains to be made.The Council is regularly approached by 3rd parties to lease land and this situation complicates decision making. A masterplan process would look to engage with key stakeholders within the area:Peel Ports Great Yarmouth,RWE Power Station offshore wind turbine interests,Equinor offshore windfarm HQ, Cadeler/Seajacks,Petersons,ASCO,EEEGr,Norfolk County Council highways and inward investment and infrastructure providers to properly understand their long-term aspirations,and how those aspirations could be integrated into the vision.The masterplan should also consider the wider context including the inter-relationships with:Beacon Business Park Enterprise Zone,nearby industrial estates at Harfreys and Gapton brought closer through the new Herring Bridge and opportunities for development around the existing outer harbour (which has been subject of previous studies).Improvement of the outer harbour itself should also be a consideration (using existing studies).Wider opportunities for relocating businesses which are not part of the renewable energy vision for the area needs consideration,retaining these important employers within Great Yarmouth.The physical proposals within the masterplan vision would inform a new marketing strategy to promote the area in national and international arenas to assist in raising the profile of South Denes and Great Yarmouth,to help attract inward investment,drive economic growth and good employment opportunities. A services and infrastructure strategy would look at the likely future demand on the existing services infrastructure, and what the implications on infrastructure would be to enable the area to be developed to its full capacity in the medium and longer term.The final masterplan should be an integrated,holistic vision,allied to a sound marketing strategy which creates a high profile and attractive place for long term investment. Key outputs and outcomes1.a masterplan which will inform how the South Denes area in Great Yarmouth should be developed in the short, medium and long term to maximise inward investment and economic growth in the offshore energy sector2.the creation of a cohesive masterplan for South Denes, informed by a review of supporting material, ensuring that the future development of the defined zones is maximised (notably the Energy Park) with the identification of development opportunity sites.

status: planned

description:
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust ("the Authority") requires the provision of Dermatology Community services to be delivered for Lambeth and Southwark  from April 2025 onwards.
The Authority has elected to undergo the most suitable provider process which is conducted in accordance with The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (“PSR 2023”).
The Authority is seeking a single supplier to provide dermatology services inclusive of :
(A) A mandated single point of referral and triage for non-urgent dermatology
referrals;
(B) Diagnostic support, advice and guidance;
(C) Management support and/ or treatment for a broad range of dermatological conditions; and
(D) An enhanced educational programme in dermatology for primary care clinicians. This will be fore a period of 5-years in the first instance.

The services will be based in estates within Lambeth and Southwark boroughs in London.
Services provided will include:
A) A mandated single point of referral and triage for non-urgent dermatology
referrals.
The Service will receive all GP-initiated non-urgent dermatology referrals and ensure that each patient is directed to the most appropriate setting. The triage service will further support referral management by actively encouraging high quality of information from referring GPs, adhering to the SEL Treatment Access Policy and providing feedback to the referrer on the
quality, suitability and destination of the referral. The triage service will actively mitigate against the lowering of referral thresholds, in cases where the GP could reasonably be expected to manage the patient’s condition in primary care. All referrals will be triaged within three working days.
The service will collect triage activity data to a level that enables local demand and educational
needs to be identified and will actively seek to feed this information into the on-going educational programme (in collaboration with the Commissioner Training Coordinator) and development of the service (in collaboration with the Commissioner and acute partners).
IHL GPwERs agreed to staff the triage service, usually delivered out of hours, including the
provision of holiday cross cover.
B) Diagnostic support, advice and guidance.
The Service will work with the Commissioner to develop resources that support GPs to make an accurate diagnosis and implement a first line management plan for appropriate conditions.
These resources will include clinical guidance/checklists, accessible signposting to existing resources such as the Primary Care Dermatology Society and a directory of local educational opportunities (see section below for more detail on education).
The Service will work with the Commissioner to ensure that use of these resources becomes embedded within the referral optimisation process. As a second line option, the Service will offer a specialist advice and
guidance service for GPs within the community. The provision of management plans will be an important part of the wider educational role of the Service, aiming to build confidence and capacity within primary care.
C) Management support and/ or treatment for a broad range of dermatological conditions. A list of conditions that would be expected to be managed within the Service is included below:
•       Acne (moderate to severe)
•       Actinic Keratosis
•       Alopecia/hair loss (non-scarring)
•       BCCs (unless meets secondary care or 2WW)
•       Bowen’s disease (or primary care)
•       Congenital lesions – vascular or pigmented
•       Eczema (not responding to treatment as per SEL guideline)
•       Nail or scalp disorders (moderate severity)
•       Hidradenitis suppurativa (not responding to treatment as per SEL guideline)
•     Hyperhidrosis generalised (not responding to treatment as per SEL guideline)
•       Infection + infestations, e.g. tinea (not responding to standard therapy)
•       Lesion of diagnostic uncertainty (not 2WW)
•       Lichen planus and other inflammatory disorders
•       Pigment disorders e.g. vitiligo
•       Pruritus
•       Psoriasis (not responding to treatment as per SEL guideline)
•       Pyogenic granulomas
•       Rash of diagnostic uncertainty
•       Rosacea
•       Urticaria
•       Skin Check – mole review in high-risk individuals
•       Genital dermatosis
•       Epidermoid cysts and similar benign skin lesions that meet the SEL TAP (≥5cm refer to general surgery, max fax or plastics as appropriate).
The Service will provide consultation and treatment, delivered in more than one primary/community care setting, for dermatology patients whose treatment is outside the scope of what can be offered in primary care, and who would otherwise have been referred to hospital. The service will provide annual capacity for triaging around 4,660 referrals, offering advice and guidance and management plans to GPs for an estimated 300 patients, conducting 1,975 first consultations across all sites (plus capacity for an estimated 250 minor surgical (such as simple skin biopsies) or other procedures (such as mycology). The Parties will use a flexible approach to providing appointment capacity across all sites so that this sufficiently matches the demand for these services and supports patient choice. Depending on the level
of demand, commissioners anticipate dedicated clinics at at least two premises across Southwark (preferably one in the north and one in the south of the borough) that provide good accessibility for patients and facilitate patient choice.
The community clinicians will work closely with local acute partners to ensure robust clinical governance and to continuously develop the scope and quality of care provided within the community. The Parties will work with the Commissioner and other professionals and practitioners to determine and develop the optimum model of care, which reflects national best practice guidance and local commissioning intentions.
A list of conditions that would be expected to be managed within the Service is included at
Appendix 1. This list is not exhaustive and commissioners recognise the difficulties in identifying discrete conditions which are suitable for an intermediate tier service, particularly given the variability in primary care capacity across the borough and the various levels of
complexity within dermatological disorders. Therefore, over time the full service offering of the community clinics will need to be responsive to local need, flexible in relation to the growing expertise within primary care, and open to further scoping and development in collaboration with commissioners and local acute partners.
Where gaps in primary care expertise are identified, however, the Service will be required to work developmentally with GP practices to raise the standard of primary dermatology care, with the aim that all patients will be seen in the most appropriate setting for their condition. It will be necessary to gather clinical activity data and maintain an active dialogue with local
partners to ensure that the suitability of the case mix can be kept under review and the nature of local need and demand can be properly understood.
Management of new demand will remain critical to ensure that thresholds for referral do not lower and the service remains appropriate and viable. The Service will achieve this via a robust and comprehensive triage process that provides proactive advice and guidance,
encourages good quality information from referring GPs and adheres to local referral guidance.
The Service will provide minor surgery within the guidelines of the South East London Treatment Access Policy, where the same minor surgical procedure is not available within General Practice and a hospital attendance is not required. The Service will deliver best practice, evidence-based services based on NICE, British Association of Dermatologists
(BAD) and local guidance.
The Service will have direct access to diagnostic testing (mycology, histology, bloods) at acute providers to enable diagnosis and subsequent management within the community without the need for a hospital attendance.
D) An enhanced educational programme in dermatology for primary care clinicians.
The Service clinicians will work closely with the Commissioner’s Training Coordinator, contributing to the development and delivery of Southwark-wide education programmes. Educational interventions will be directly linked to local need, which will be identified and
evaluated through clinical information collected by the Service.
The Service clinicians will be expected to support specific GP practices to optimise their dermatology referrals by contributing to referral peer review sessions.
Exclusion Criteria
GPs can refer patients of all ages with routine conditions to the Service, however patients requiring an urgent hospital referral, including those with suspected cancer, are not suitable for the Community Dermatology Service and should bypass community triage to access
secondary care directly.

The approximate value of the contract is estimated to be £800,000 with services to be provided from 1st July 2025.

This notice will be published for 14 days as per the requirements of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023, to enable providers to approach the Authority and express their interest in being considered as the 'most suitable provider'.

Providers capable of delivering this service may submit their expression of interest by 17:00, Friday, 8th November 2024 via email, to tsouthgate@ecovategroup.com. Additional information: The Service will manage a broad range of dermatological conditions and support the development of sustainable care pathways, which are cost-effective, responsive to local need, clearly articulated between clinical partners and underpinned by a combination of effective referral optimisation and robust educational support.

The Community Service will also play a pivotal role in strengthening the dermatology offering across Lewisham, by providing a link between primary and secondary care, building capacity and expertise within the community and diverting less complex activity away from the acute trusts, thereby improving access to secondary care for those patients requiring consultantled treatment.

Integrated Urgent Care (NHS111 and Clinical Assessment Service) services. Integrated Urgent Care Services are inextricably linked to delegated primary care commissioned services and have been considered together when determining a sustainable approach for provision within BLMK. The transformation of IUC directly impacts core general practice and primary services, specifically same day and urgent general practice and vice versa. National policy developments including the development of unscheduled care coordination hubs has been an important consideration as the services are delivered against a national NHSE Service Specification as follows:
NHS111 is a remote triage service accessed via telephone or online. Both services use a Clinical Decision Support System called NHS Pathways, to support the remote assessment of callers to 111 or 999, or visitors to NHS111 Online. The 111-telephony service uses an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. This provides an initial filter to direct callers along the appropriate pathway within the NHS111 process. It can also connect callers directly with another service such as a Mental Health Crisis Team.
Clinical Assessment Service (CAS) contains an MDT, with at least one senior responsible GP available 24/7 with additional GPs rostered according to demand. Working with them, also rostered according to demand and local need are specialists such as advanced nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dental nurses, mental health nurses and palliative care nurses. During consultations, CAS clinicians will use a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) or an agreed clinical protocol to complete the episode on the telephone where possible.
The ICB are intending to award a contract an existing provider following direct award process C and the approximate lifetime value of the contract is £4.9m plus activity growth, cost inflation and efficiencies. The services are intended to be provided for a period of three years from 01st October 2025 to 30th September 2028.

The supplier (Wight Fibre) has its own Island Infrastructure already in situ; any other supplier would depend on utilising Open Reach infrastructure to supply our requirements, which in itself carries a higher cost than is offered by Wight Fibre, whose infrastructure is already in place. A cost comparison with another provider was carried out with Wight Fibre as lowest cost, but with additional benefits such as monitoring of real time bandwidth and traffic usage. Wight Fibre’s offering also includes a large number of public IP addresses on two of the direct internet connections, upstream DNS mirroring, built in resilience, 24/7 365 days a year coverage for faults, monitoring, and reporting.
Continuity of supply of our connection(s) is of high importance and as well as the cost effectiveness mentioned.
