This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 14th June 2019. The tender is slated to be published in early July 2019, and the service is expected to commence on 1st June 2020. This project falls under the medical practice services category and is being initiated to address the lack of GP cover in the area, serving a projected patient list size of approximately 22,500 over the contract duration of 8 years, with a possible extension of up to 2 years. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those that can provide primary care services such as GPs, nurses, and clinical professionals. Organisations with expertise in delivering patient-centred care, innovative community health solutions, and the ability to operate extended hours will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, companies that can engage effectively with local communities and enhance patient satisfaction could thrive in this competitive bidding process. Participation in this procurement could enable businesses to expand their services in an area identified for growth within primary care. ## Notice The Commissioner (NHS Milton Keynes CCG) is seeking comments on the final draft of the Service Specification ahead of publication of the procurement opportunity.
