Notice Title

PROVISION OF AN ALTERNATIVE PROVIDER OF MEDICAL SERVICES (APMS) CONTRACT FOR NHS WEST LEICESTERSHIRE CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP

Notice Description

This is a call for competition. NHS West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CCG) is seeking to commission a provider to deliver medical services at Thurmaston Health Centre, Leicestershire under an Alternative Provider of Medical Services contract from the 1st of October 2021 for a weighted population of 6,703 patients. The current contract is operating under caretaker arrangements that are due to expire on the 30th of September 2021. The Commissioners wish to receive responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary skill and experience (or a demonstrable ability to provide the skill and experience) to provide the range of services required. This new procurement process (launched in May 2021) is entirely separate to a recent abandoned procurement for these services, and all Bids received will be considered entirely independently of all proceedings associated with the previous procedure. The contract shall be for a term of five (5) years from the Service start date with the possibility of extending the term by up to another 5 years beyond the initial contracted term at the Commissioner's request. The contract start date is 1st of October 2021. The contract value for this service is variable, and estimated to be PS938,513 at 2021/22 prices, and up to a total PS9.39m over the potential 10-years of the contract (including extensions). Please note that the Commissioner will reject bids that do not meet the sustainability test (as defined in the ITT Annex 7, paragraph 1.4). The service will be commissioned via an open type procurement process according to the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Contract Regulations 2015 for healthcare services advertised to all providers which is proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract. The invitation to tender (ITT) will be available from 12th May 2021 on the ML CSU Bravo portal (see below) and it will have a deadline for submissions of 12:00 noon on 9th June 2021. Bidder clarifications may be submitted to the Commissioner (via the ML CSU Bravo portal only) during the procurement process up to 17:00 on 2nd June 2021. We recommend current providers of similar services, providers who may be interested in providing this service, or other stakeholders who may have an interest in providing this to register on the MLCSU eProcurement portal Bravo (Jaggaer) to register their interest and get access to the ITT and all the documentation. Additional information: The aim of the service is to deliver all essential, additional and enhanced primary care services to all registered patients at the practice. The Commissioner is seeking innovation in the provision of integrated primary care services, which align to both the national and local strategic plans, i.e.: a) 'Do things differently': o develop new ways to improve access and service delivery; o improve integration and collaborative working with local health and social care providers, including Primary Care Networks; o improve engagement with patients in the development of integrated primary care services ensuring the patient has more control over their own health and the care they receive. b) Preventing illness, tackling health inequalities: o promote physical and psychological well-being and self- care; o addressing health inequalities to improve patient outcomes. c) 'Provide world class care for major health problems' through: o improved continuity of care; o clinical audit; o appropriate risk assessment to promote early diagnosis of chronic disease; o improved long term condition management. d) Making better use of data and digital technology: o supporting the 'digital first' approach with clinically safe, NHS approved digital technology to improve access, increase patient choice, and improve quality and outcomes. e) Backing the workforce: o providing a GP-led service with appropriate clinical oversight to support the multi- disciplinary practice team; o providing and supporting all staff holistically, ensuring personal development, promoting confidence and greater staff satisfaction.
