The contract is a 9-year agreement starting in April 2025, with an estimated total value of £9,000,000. Interested providers must express their interest by 22 March 2024 via the Atamis portal. This tender provides an opportunity for healthcare provider organisations, especially those with experience in delivering medical services in urban areas and to diverse patient populations, to grow their business. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in this tender process. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) (the Contracting Authority) who wish to seek expressions of interest to deliver Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) for patients of Elswick Family Practice. The contract is a single APMS GP practice based in an urban area of the West End of Newcastle. The current patient list size is 7,700 and patient demographics show a wide patient registration area with a significant proportion of the patients being of Bangladeshi origin. In addition the practice is contracted, via a local enhanced service, to support up to 600 beds in asylum seeker contingency accommodation sites across the city providing health checks. The patients are then registered with the practice for on-going routine patient care. Premises are to be mandated for this service, with services to be delivered from Elswick Health Centre, Meldon Street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE4 6SH. The property is leased via NHS Property Services, and a new lease agreement would need to be agreed. The contract will be for a period of 9 years (7 years plus an optional 2-year extension), commencing in April 2025. Contract fees are based on national GMS rates (minus OOH) and the full contract value is estimated to be PS9,000,000 over the full contract term. Please note that this exercise is not part of any pre-qualification process. It is intended as an awareness, communication and information gathering exercise offering an opportunity for provider organisations to help inform potential future service models and/or commissioning intentions.
