DoH chooses companies to offer support services to PCTs
Fourteen organisations have been chosen by the Department of Health to offer support services to primary care trusts.
Organisations in the new agreement, called the Framework for procuring
External Support for Commissioners (FESC), will offer services such as
data analysis and contract management but will not be involved in delivery
of direct patient care.
The framework is expected to help PCTs obtain the best value for money
by minimising the resource and cost implications associated with procuring
these services.
The DoH emphasised that PCTs can still procure services independently.
The 14 organisations are:
- Aetna Health Services (UK)
- AXA PPP Healthcare
Administration Services
- BUPA Membership Commissioning
- CHKS (Partners
in Commissioning)
- Dr Foster (Dr Foster Intelligence)
- Health Dialog
Services Corporation
- Humana Europe
- KPMG LLP
- McKesson Information Solutions
UK
- McKinsey & Company
- Navigant Consulting
- Tribal Consulting
- UnitedHealth
Europe
- WG Consulting Healthcare (WG Consulting)
