II.1.4) Short description
Service providers are sought to deliver the Productive General Practice Quick Start (PGPQS) Programme in England. PGPQS forms a significant part of the Time for Care (TfC) programme delivered by NHS England’s Sustainable Improvement Team in its delivery of local support to general practice. Between Autumn 2016 and March 2019 over 1700 practices (out of a total of 7000+) have received the PGPQS support package.
In order to service a national TfC commission that will encourage the participation of all general practices across England. A number of ‘Delivery Partners’ (DPs) will be required to deliver PGPQS. The number of practices to be supported each year is subjected to different factors and whilst no guarantees can be made, we would estimate around 400 to 600 practices per annum would receive the PGPQS package.
