Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) initiated a public procurement process for Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) at Graham Road Surgery and Horizon Health Centre. The procurement category classified under general-practitioner services was set to secure a contract worth £51 million for a duration of 15 years, commencing on 1st December 2025. Located in Weston Super Mare, the process utilised an open procurement method with electronic and written submissions due by 10th March 2025. However, the procurement process has been abandoned following an evaluation where none of the proposals met the necessary criteria. A new procurement exercise will be conducted in alignment with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This large-scale procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering APMS to support primary medical services. Firms with robust service delivery capabilities and experience in managing healthcare contracts could greatly benefit. Such opportunities suit businesses that are adaptable and capable of serving large patient populations while complying with the regulations and quality standards set by the NHS. This re-procurement notices likely require adaptable bidders who can build and maintain a large registered list of patients over a significant contract period under the oversight of NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW).
