Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is initiating a tender process for the Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contract for Kings Heath Surgery, located in Northamptonshire. The project is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated budget of £341,000 for the first year of the five-year contract term, starting from 31 August 2019 until 1 September 2024. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest by noon on 12 April 2019. This contract aims to address the specific healthcare needs of a young and diverse patient population, which currently consists of approximately 3,616 patients, often requiring innovative engagement strategies due to high DNA rates for appointments.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare sector, including General Practitioner (GP) organisations, nurses, and other clinical service providers. Companies with experience in delivering primary care services that are accessible and responsive to patient needs, especially during extended opening hours, may find this tender particularly suitable. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given the complexities of service delivery at Kings Heath Surgery, which has faced challenges in stable staffing and patient engagement.
