The nationally set price for General Medical Services (GMS) ‘per weighted capita’ contracts payments of 80.59 GBP will be paid.
For each additional weighted patient in excess of contracted levels, the successful bidder will be paid at the GMS global sum value applying at the time e.g. 2016/17 80.59 GBP per annum.
For practices who opt out of providing the ‘out of hours’ services, a deduction of 5.15 % of the global sum payment will be applied on a monthly basis. These contracts are let on the basis of no ‘out of hours’ being provided.
In addition, successful bidders will be eligible for National Enhanced services and Quality and Outcomes Framework payments in line with GMS contracts.
The bidders will also be eligible for reimbursement of rents and rates expenditure on current premises, as per the NHS (General Medical Services Premises Costs) Directions.
The contracting authority will act in accordance with Part 3 Chapter 5 Regulations 85 to 87 and Regulation 95 of the Public Regulations 2015. Part 3 of these Regulations provides for appeals to be made to the High Court subject to the time limitations and other required procedural steps. The rules relating to appeal are complex and a dissatisfied bidder is advised to take their own prompt legal action.
