The practice has 3 200 patients (October 2019); the list size has steadily grown over a period of 18 months and an extension to the practice boundary area was approved in October 2018. The immediate area where the practice is situated has higher incidences of deprivation and child poverty than the England average.
Commissioners mandate use of the current premises for the duration of the contract and the selected provider would be expected to enter into a documented tenancy with the landlord for the duration of the contract. The building is not part of the NHS estate.
Kirkby Community Primary Care Centre is situated in Ashfield Health Village in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire (NG17) and covers the patient population of Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
The practice has 6 500 patients (October 2019). The immediate area where the practice is situated has higher incidences of deprivation and child poverty than the England average.
Commissioners mandate use of the current premises for the duration of the contract and the selected provider would be expected to enter into a documented tenancy with the landlord for the duration of the contract. The practice is located in an NHS Property Services building, co-located with other health and well-being services.
Balderton Primary Care Centre is located on the outskirts of Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire (NG24) and serves patients across the Balderton area of Newark as well as covering the villages of Coddington, Barnby in Willows and Claypole.
The area immediately surrounding the practice has an income deprivation which is slightly better than the England average. Incidences of child deprivations are similar to that of the England average.
Commissioners mandate use of the current premises for the duration of the contract and the selected provider would be expected to enter into a documented tenancy with the landlord for the duration of the contract. The practice is located in a modern purpose-built premise and is co-located with the Clinical Commissioning Group.
Platform One Practice is located in Nottingham City Centre. The practice provides care to all patients of Nottingham City and the boundary reflects the borders of the Nottingham City CCG area.
The income deprivation and incidences of children living in poverty for the Nottingham City area is significantly worse than the England averages.
The current premises are owned by the current GP provider. It is not expected that this arrangement will continue following the procurement and therefore an interested party will be expected to provide premises from which the service can run from. A one year mobilisation period has been planned to reflect this.
The contracts are expected to be procured under the NHS England standard alternative provider of medical services (APMS) contract.
