Further Urgent Care contract extensions and Insourcing update

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of a range of healthcare services across the UK and Ireland, is pleased to report that the Group's Urgent Care division has been awarded a new contract (the "Contract") which is expected to be worth circa £4 million per annum.  

The Contract, which is for the provision of an Urgent Treatment Centre on behalf of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, follows a full procurement process led by Greenbrook Healthcare Limited ("Greenbrook"), part of Totally's Urgent Care Division.

The Contract will run for a period of three years, with an option to extend for a further two years. Plans to mobilise the new service are already underway in preparation for commencement of the Contract.

The total value of the Contract will depend on activity volumes but is expected to be circa £4 million per annum.  

Further Urgent Care contract extensions

The Group's Urgent Care division has been awarded a number of contract extensions across England for the provision of Clinical Assessment Services ("CAS") associated with Think 111 First and other services for the on-going management of COVID-19, equating to a total value of c. £2.5 million.

Insourcing update

Totally's Insourcing division continues to see increased demand for its services to reduce waiting lists across England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Scotland. NHS England recently confirmed a record number of people on waiting lists, now standing in excess of c. 5.3 million.

The division continues to work with hospitals across the UK and Ireland, predominantly at weekends, delivering services across a range of specialities which include:

· Endoscopy

· Ophthalmology

· Oral and Maxillofacial services

· Rheumatology

· Dermatology

Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said: "I am absolutely delighted that our Urgent Care division has been awarded this important contract for the provision of an Urgent Treatment Centre on behalf of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Leveraging our knowledge of the local population, particularly following our acquisition of Greenbrook, the Contract further expands our portfolio of Urgent Treatment Centres in London and allows us to ensure that the highest quality and most appropriate care is provided to as many patients as quickly as possible.

"We are also pleased to report that our Urgent Care Division was awarded a number of contract extensions around the work we are doing with the Think 111 First service and the ongoing management of COVID-19. Meanwhile, our Insourcing division is now working tirelessly with hospitals across the UK and Ireland, predominantly at weekends, as elective care services are restarted following delays by hospitals during the pandemic.

"The pandemic continues to put significant pressure on the UK and Ireland's healthcare system and all of our divisions are experiencing heightened demand for their services.   

"I look forward to updating the market on further progress in due course."
