Summary of the contracting process

The N E L Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the Tender stage of the procurement process for the APMS Special Allocation Service (SAS) project, aimed at providing essential medical services to individuals in London who have been removed from mainstream GP practice lists due to violent behaviour. The total estimated value for this contract is £7,439,330, with a minimum threshold of £3,719,665. The tender period will close on 22nd July 2019, and the contract is set to commence on 4th November 2019, running until 3rd November 2024. This procurement follows an open procedure, allowing broad participation, and is classified under health services (CPV code 85100000).

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare and social care sectors, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise in providing services under the Special Allocation Scheme. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the nature of the service delivery may suit those with agile and tailored approaches to patient care. The competitive landscape is conducive for organisations with experience in innovative healthcare solutions and strong community engagement strategies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

APMS Special Allocation Service (SAS)

Notice Description

Clinical Commissioning Groups are required to ensure provision of essential medical services to all people normally resident within their CCGs geographical area. This includes people who have been removed from their mainstream GP practice list as a result violent of behaviour or behaviour which led to the practice staff fearing for their safety. Care for this group of patients is provided under the Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) (also known as the Violent Patient Scheme). SAS Services have historically been provided on an individual CCG basis with consequent significant variation in service specification and provision In order to help address this variation, NHS England included guidance on the commissioning of a robust SAS in its November 2017 Primary Medical Care Policy and Guidance Manual (PGM). The guidance includes a detailed draft specimen specification. The detailed nature of the new national guidance would seem to lend itself to supra-CCG arrangements i.e. to commission services at STP level and this has now been agreed across the 3 London STPs involved in this procurement. The Authority is therefore seeking to appoint a single provider of SAS services in each of the NCL, NEL and SEL STP areas. The current contracts for the provision of SAS in the 3 STP areas are due to expire on 3rd November 2019. Additional information: Click on this link to access the online tender portal.
