The procurement is classified under health services and follows an open procedure as per Public Contract Regulations 2015. This tender is currently at the planning stage, with submissions due by 27th January 2017 at 12:00 pm. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2017 and will last for 16 months, until 1st October 2018, with a possible extension of six months thereafter. This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth within the healthcare sector, especially for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer high-quality medical services. Companies that specialise in healthcare provision or management, especially those capable of meeting stringent operational timelines and ensuring service continuity, would be well-suited to participate. The urgency of the mobilisation process requires interested providers to ensure swift responsiveness, aligning with the operational necessities of the contract award. ## Notice NHS England (the Contracting Authority) is seeking to identify a suitable provider of Primary Care GP Services to undertake a GP caretaking contract in London for the Orient Community Practice based in London Borough of Waltham Forest. The successful Bidder will be required to provide general medical services at the address of the Practice referred to above, using the current clinical staff and non-clinical staff, where employed, to ensure continuity of service provision for patients. The successful Bidder will also be required to ensure that the Practice is managed and provides high quality general medical services in a consistent and accessible way, to meet the needs of the registered patients. This will include providing clinical leadership to the practice team at the Practice and establishing robust governance processes. The successful Bidder will be required to enter into a sub-lease for the use of that property with the Head leaseholder alongside the APMS Contract. This Tender process is being managed by North East London Commissioning Support Unit (NEL CSU) on behalf of NHS England (the "Contracting Authority") in connection with a competitive procurement exercise that is being conducted in accordance with a process based on the Open Procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations" (as amended)).

Neither the reference to "Open Procedure", "ITT", "PQQ / SQ", the use of the term "Tender process" nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound to any of the Regulations, save those applicable to LTR provisions. The Contract will be for a period of 16 months - the initial contract period will be from 1st April 2017 to 1st October 2017. The initial period is followed by an optional extension of 6 months (to 1st March 2018) until a final commissioning decision is implemented.
