The procurement is currently at the 'Tender' stage, with the Invitation to Tender (ITT) published on 15th February 2018 and submissions due by 19th March 2018. The contract duration is set for five years, commencing on 1st November 2018, with the potential for a further five-year extension. The estimated annual value is approximately £1 million, reflecting the scale of services required in the health sector, classified under Health and social work services. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare sector, particularly those offering primary care services. Companies with experience in delivering patient-centred healthcare solutions and an understanding of local population needs are encouraged to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly welcome to bid, leveraging their agility to design and deliver tailored services that engage patient needs effectively. Firms should prepare their proposals with a focus on patient engagement and responsive service design to align with the commissioner's expectations. ## Notice This is a call for competition. NHS Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LC CCG) are commissioning a provider to deliver primary medical services under an Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contract for the Community Health Centre located at Melbourne Road, Leicester. The Commissioner wishes to receive responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to provide the range of services required. The Provider must ensure services are appropriate to local needs, access and convenience are important aspects of a patient-centred service but it is also vital that the services are appropriate and responsive to the needs of the local population. The Provider will need to design the services around the needs of patients and their carer's. To deliver a patient-centred service, the Provider will need to engage patients in the design and development of the services. Please see service specification for further detail. The Contract shall be for a term of five (5) years from the Service start date with the possibility of extending the term by up to 5 years beyond the initial contracted term at Commissioners' request. The Commissioner is awaiting confirmation of the contract term from NHS England's Commercial Executive Group (CEG). Once confirmation is received the confirmed duration of the contract will be broadcast on the Bravo system. Estimated value for this is circa PS1m per annum. The service will be commissioned via an open procurement process advertised to all providers which is proportionate to the value and complexity of the service and contract. The ITT will be live on the 15th February 2018 on M&L CSU Bravo portal (see below) and it will have a deadline for submissions of 17:00 on the 19th March 2018. Clarifications may be asked during the procurement process up to a week before the ITT deadline, i.e. the deadline for submitting clarification questions on the tender is 17:00 8th March 2018. Interested providers are guided to the MLCSU eProcurement portal Bravo at https://mlcsu.bravosolution.co.uk to register their interest and gain access to this procurement's documents and more specific information.
