Technical requirements: NHS England and NHS Hull CCG – APMS to deliver GP Services to registered patients at the Calvert and Newington Practices
The Contracting Authority is planning to undertake undertaking an open procurement process, as a joint procurement on behalf of NHS England and NHS Hull CCG, to award an eight year contract, with the option to extend up to five years (8+5). The estimated total value (11.8m GBP) of the opportunity included in this notice is based on the total potential contract term of 13 years (8+5) based on the annual value of 892k GBP plus up to 200k GBP of available transition funding to support mobilisation of the contract. The actual contractual payments are variable, with the main driver being practice list size.
Potential Providers must be registered to provide General Practitioner Services and in a position to successfully mobilise the contract by 1.4.2019.
Potential providers are invited to submit a tender response for this opportunity by completing the ITT documentation provided on www.nhssourcing.co.uk and accessing itt_4445 by 20.9.2018.
On behalf of NHS England and NHS Hull Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS Hull CCG would like to inform Providers of the potential procurement for an Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contract to be delivered from the Calvert and Newington Health Centres in the city of Hull. The actual patient list size was 10,820 (31.3.2018).
The Services must be GP Led and provided by GPs, nurses and other clinical professionals, the successful Provider will be expected to:
— Design services around the needs of patients and carers, ensuring they are offered more choice and a greater say in their treatment,
— Be eligible for and expected to provide all Enhanced Services, remunerated in line with the relevant Directions as specified by the commissioner on an annual basis,
— Collaborate with the extended access service being commissioned by the CCG which will be operational from October 2018,
— Work within one of the 5 general practice groupings that exist within Hull, each comprising a minimum of 30 000 patients,
— Participate in the Local Quality Premium Scheme that the CCG commissions from each of the 5 general practice groupings,
— Work with social prescribing service including hosting appointments for Well being Co-ordinators and/or Welfare Advisors.
Potential Providers are also provided with the opportunity to earn additional income through the Quality and Outcomes Framework and the provision of enhanced services to patients within their practice. Due to the voluntary nature of the potential for additional income, and that patient choice will determine activity for enhanced services, this is not reflected in the annual value within the notice, but is available for the duration of the contract.
The Contracting Authority, subject to agreement with all parties (including the Incumbent Provider and the Preferred Provider), reserves the right to amend the Contract Start Date to an earlier date subject to completion of the contract mobilisation stage within a shorter time frame than currently anticipated.

Eligibility requirements: As described in the procurement documentation.
