Technical requirements: The aim of all the services is to deliver all essential, additional and enhanced services to registered patients at the practice.
It is proposed that the terms and conditions of all the services, including tariff arrangements, will reflect those contained in Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contracts.
The key objective of this procurement process is to ensure that the successful service provider can meet the service specification.
The Provider must ensure services are appropriate to local needs, access and convenience are important aspects of a patient-centred service but it is also vital that the services are appropriate and responsive to the needs of the local population.
The Provider will need to design the services around the needs of patients and their carer’s. To deliver a patient-centred service, the Provider will need to engage patients in the design and development of the services. Please see service specification for further detail.
