This will include participating in and helping to integrate local collaborative models of working such as enhanced access arrangements, Primary Care Networks initiatives, NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) Primary Care Strategy and other strategies that have elements that are relevant to primary care (e.g. mental health). In addition, the Contractor will engage and participate in future local collaborative models of working such as neighbourhood teams as and when they arise. * Participate in the QOF and in the Delivery of Directed Enhanced Services (DES). The current list of Directed Enhanced Services is in Annex 1 of the service specification. It should be noted that these may change from time to time in line with national directions. * The provider will form part of the local Primary Care Network requiring: - * entering into the full Network Agreement * agree data sharing agreements to support the delivery of extended hours * sign up to the Network Contract DES on CQRS Although not forming part of the APMS contract, the Provider will also provide Local Enhanced Services under a standard NHS Standard Contract. The contract term will be for 3 years with an optional extension of any number of periods up to 2 years. The contract value is PS1,972,694 per annum giving a contract value of PS5,918,082 for the initial contract period and PS9,863,470 if the full extension period is adopted.
