About this contract

Several years ago St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust moved away from a model for HEE NW whereby each individual Trainee had to purchase their own individual cover and then be individually reimbursed. Instead we procured 'block cover' for Trainees in regards to General Practice (or non NHS bodies) and we also have this arrangement in place for HEE WM and HEE EoE. We are now moving to have this 'block cover' model in place for HEE EM from 1st August 2017. St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are therefore looking to work in partnership with an external provider who has the necessary competencies and commitment to deliver an excellent cost effective service both to the Trust and the Trainees. The exact details of the indemnity cover for this staff group are to be found in the ITT. 1.1 KEY POINTS  This 'block cover' would cover GP Trainees for HEE EM from 1st August 2017.  The tender will be effective for 24 months commencing the 1st August 2017; however with the option of a further one to three years contract extension.  It is an essential requirement that the cover provided includes a legacy run-off enabling claims to be made against it after expiry of the cover for events that occur during these periods whether a claim comes in during the GP Trainees' employment, or further down the line after they have left our employment.  All tenders must be based on a flexible attitude to numbers under cover noting that for example recruitment targets may not be hit, Trainees may leave, go out of programme, go on maternity leave etc.
