This tender falls under the health and social work services category and is located in Yeovil, England. The open procedure tender is in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 24th January 2017. The total contract value is approximately £1,885,209 and the resultant contract will commence on 1st April 2017, lasting until 31st March 2022. This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers looking to expand their services within the Yeovil region. Businesses specialising in general practice and walk-in healthcare services would be especially well-suited to compete, given the critical nature of the services being tendered and the current demand from a patient list of over 6,000. Engaging in this procurement process could facilitate growth for companies prepared to meet the specific requirements set forth by NHS England and the local Clinical Commissioning Group. ## Notice Yeovil Health Centre was established on the 30th December 2008 by the former Somerset Primary Care Trust and provides both a registered list GP service and walk-in service under an AMPS contract commissioned by NHS England. Due to the split in commissioning responsibilities NHS England will only be commissioning the registered list GP service. The walk-in service is part of the NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group's responsibilities. They are currently considering options regarding the future of this part of the service. The current APMS contract is held by Symphony Healthcare Service, with a contract expiry date of the 31st March 2017. There is currently (as of 1st October 2016) a list size of 6,122 patients, with a weighted list size of 4932.52. Yeovil Health Centre is currently located in leased accommodation in the first floor of the Boots Pharmacy in the Centre of Yeovil. The lease runs until 2nd August 2019. The practice area covers the whole of Yeovil and surrounding hamlets and although the registered list is predominately centered within Yeovil town, it is distributed across a wide geographical area. Of the 25 most deprived neighbourhoods (LSOAs) in Somerset, six are in Yeovil.
