For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Regulations 2024 (Procurement Act 2023) and/ or Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This intention to award notice is in relation to: Leasowe Medical Practice Alternative Provider Medical Services, including Special Allocation Scheme. Leasowe Medical Centre is a general practice managed by an Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) contract. The contract will deliver primary medical services to the registered patients of Leasowe Medical Practice.

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB has a set price of PS112.50 for the Capitation Payments per weighted patient.

The total revenues for the full 10 year contract term are PS3,372,990. This is an Existing Service and a new provider.
