Notice Title

Ivel Medical Centre, Biggleswade

Notice Description

Ivel Medical Centre is a practice with a list size of 13,683 (13,025.43 weighted) as of September 2022. It is situated in the pleasant market town of Biggleswade in Central Bedfordshire. BLMK ICB is seeking expressions of interest to appoint a short-term caretaker provider for 18-24 months from 1 June 2023 to stabilise the service before going out to full commercial procurement for a new longer-term Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) contract. Due to the timescales involved before the caretaker contract start date, the initial intention is to appoint a short-term caretaker provider on an APMS basis who is already delivering primary medical care services in BLMK and is therefore familiar with the local systems, pathways and processes. The caretaker provider will need to use their knowledge of delivery of primary care medical services within BLMK to mobilise quickly and bring stability to the practice's staff and patients while building resilience and providing reassurance to the local community. This will enable us to ensure a safe and sustainable GP service is delivered while we work with local system partners to develop, consider and implement longer term plans for meeting the ongoing general practice needs of patients. Following this period of stabilisation, we intend to go out to tender for a longer-term APMS contract. Bidders that are interested in this caretaking arrangement must complete the online questionnaire. This is available via the Atamis portal , https://atamis-1928.lightning.force.com/lightning/page/home, project reference: C127638 and submissions are requested to be submitted by Monday 30th January 2023 at 12 noon
