Notice Title

BLMK CCG Primary Medical Services - Branch with patient list

Notice Description

The Authority (BLMK CCG) has taken a strategic decision not to re-procure GP contracts of around 10,000 weighted list size or below as stand-alone APMS contracts, to ensure robust and sustainable long-term delivery of services. The CCG has a strong desire that the current premises are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services. The CCG has decided that the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to advertise these practices as branches with patient lists, thus retaining the current premises with managed list dispersal to the successful bidder/s. Therefore, BLMK CCG is seeking interest from existing general medical services (GMS) GP contractors to take on: - Arlesey Medical Centre and/or - Bramingham Park Medical Centre and/or - Kingsway Health Centre and/or - Shortstown Surgery premises All as branch surgeries with the current patient lists (by allocation while noting patient registration choice) - from 1 October 2022 for Arlesey Medical Centre, Bramingham Park Medical Centre, and Kingsway Health Centre and from 1 November 2022 for Shortstown Surgery. The intention is to conduct a 'one stage' procurement process under the Light Touch Regime, undertaken by the participating Contracting Authority, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group (BLMK CCG), herein known as "the Authority," to award contract(s) for provision of Primary Medical Services through a GMS contract model, from 1st October 2022 for Arlesey Medical Centre, Bramingham Park Medical Centre and Kingsway Health Centre and from 1st November 2022 for Shortstown Surgery. The indicative date for the Invitation to Tender to be released is Tuesday 17th May 2022. The Authority invites interested providers to attend a virtual pre-procurement market engagement event on Monday 11th May 2022 (13:00 to 14:30), which will be broadcast via Microsoft (MS) Teams. The format of the event will be a presentation from commissioners followed by a Q&A for bidders. The information gathered will support commissioners to understand better the service model to put in place and will be used to inform the approach to the procurement process. All organisations wishing to attend the market engagement event must complete and return a booking form via Attain's eProcurement portal (https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html) via Current Opportunities (Ref "sq_66 - BLMK Primary Medical Services - Branch with patient list") by no later than 9th May 2022 12 Noon.
