Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (ICB) is conducting a procurement process titled "Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) The Mandeville Practice". This process, tailored to general-practitioner services, falls under the industry category of healthcare services. The procurement method is an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), not subject to Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement encompasses services commencing on 1 April 2026, with a possible duration of up to 15 years, potentially extending until 31 March 2041. Representations by providers must be submitted by midnight on 12 December 2025, marking the close of the standstill period. The total contract value, including potential extensions, is £25,498,465, inclusive of VAT. The contract location spans the Mandeville Practice in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, with the service overseen by the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of the commissioners.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those with strong capabilities in delivering general-practitioner services and handling population growth in an expanding geographic area. Suitable businesses would be those that can demonstrate innovation, integration, and service sustainability, as the award criteria heavily weigh on these factors. With a pronounced focus on improving access, reducing health inequalities, and fostering collaboration, companies positioned to offer value in these areas are likely to find this tender particularly favourable for business growth. Furthermore, large-scale providers such as Chilvers & McCrea Limited (Operose Health), which are well-equipped to meet the comprehensive criteria set forth, may find this a lucrative opportunity to significantly expand their footprint in the UK healthcare sector.
