West Essex CCG is looking for a patient-centred approach to care delivery that is user friendly and culturally sensitive and encompasses national and local public health targets. We are also looking for providers who are delivering Primary medical services to a high standard and can run Nazeing Valley Health Centre as a branch surgery. In addition, providers will need to demonstrate a willingness to deliver a number of key design principles e.g. improving access and promoting prevention and self-care, as part of core service delivery.
The full scope of the service can be found in the draft service specification available at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home The deadline for responses is the 5.3.2018 at midday.
The provider will need to deliver the full range of primary medical services from the branch surgery from 1.6.2018. Following responses to stakeholder engagement the Commissioner will contract for the services using; either the NHS General medical services (GMS); or the NHS Personal medical services (PMS); or the NHS Alternative provider medical services (APMS) contract. The contract period for an APMS contract will be an initial 3 years with the option to extend by up to a further 2 years. The contract form will be agreed with the successful bidder and will be dependent on whether there are any restrictions on the provider entering into different contract types.
Based on current patient list and scope of services the annual contract value is GBP 430 000 per annum (excluding set-up costs). Any future contract value is expected to be in line with any rise or fall in the patient list size, as may be the case. The total value including all options, set-up costs and possible extensions is GBP 2 200 000.
