Technical requirements: NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of NHS Milton Keynes CCG (the Commissioner) would like to inform the market of the intention to procure GP Services (APMS) at White House Health Centre, Western Expansion, Milton Keynes.
The commissioner would like to invite providers to a market engagement event at 10:30 a.m. on Friday 3.5.2019. Further details of the event will be circulated to delegates once the registration process closes at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday 1.5.2019.
Currently there is no GP cover for this area of new growth. This facility will support the CCG’s primary care vision of place based care for total population health management and enable primary care to work at scale across the ICS. As this is a new service the patient list will be starting from zero but it is estimated the list size will grow to approximately 22 500 patients.
The services must be GP led and provided by GPs, nurses and other clinical professionals or healthcare workers. 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,
— reduce unplanned admissions to hospital; the opening hours of the facility will enable patients to seek urgent care from a GP or nurse practitioner,
— offer extended hours 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., 7 days a week, 365 days a year to registered and non-registered patients,
— function as a training practice; assisting Buckingham University in offering additional medical training places for both GPs and Nurses,
— 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,
The premises is a purpose built, leasehold, health centre practice that spans 3 floors. The building will comprise of 17 consulting rooms, 6 treatment rooms and will offer outpatient and specialist clinics. It is envisaged that the practice will need this space on a phased approach depending on the list size growth.
These opportunities will be open to the entire market. It is intended that the tender will be published in May 2019. The services must be fully operational on the expected service commencement date of 1.4.2020.
An expression of interest in this PIN will not automatically entitle involvement in any future procurement exercise. The subsequent procurement will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement when published.
