PS3.76m based on 2021/22 values. The contract is due to commence April 2022. This funding is based on core GMS funds. It may be possible to consider additional, transitional funding that may be available following agreement of a robust business case that outlines the transitional steps that will be undertaken. Such funding would be based on open book accounting to reflect actual costs incurred and would only be available for a limited period of the contract. Interested parties must be eligible to hold an APMS (Alternative Provider Medical Services) contract and appropriate CQC registration. The Key requirements, that you must confirm you are able to meet are: * Recent evidence of working at scale providing integrated health services within a community setting * On line and face to face services MUST be provided * Recurrent delivery within core GMS funding * Demonstrable knowledge of the patient population to be served and demonstrable evidence of delivering health care services to a similar group * Proven track record of recruitment and retention of clinical and support staff, with robust workforce plan * Recent evidence of high quality service delivery, which might include positive regulatory assessment * Demonstrable ability to provide high quality primary medical services * Evidence of managing significant service improvement and delivering change in a challenging environment Please see the attached summary specification.
