The process is currently in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for 29th December 2022. The opportunity is located in Welwyn Garden City, East of England, United Kingdom. This tender for Spring House Medical Centre presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized primary care providers who are interested in delivering general medical services and locally commissioned services. Attain, the buying organisation, is engaging with potential providers through a Request for Information (RFI) process to gather feedback and assess interest. The aim is to ensure sustainability and continuity of services for patients and the primary care workforce, with a focus on creating a strong, safe, and sustainable health and care system for the future. ## Notice Expression of Interest / Market Engagement Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) has a strategic vision for primary medical care services to secure contracts that will ensure robust and sustainable long-term delivery and access to services. The HWE ICB has a strong desire that the current premises are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services. The HWE ICB currently has in place an APMS contract for Spring House Medical Centre in Welwyn Garden city which is coming to an end on 30th September 2023 . The HWE ICB believes that the most appropriate way to achieve the strategic vision aim is to advertise this practice to an existing provider of primary medical care services, thus retaining the current premises as a branch with managed list dispersal to the successful bidder, under GMS terms. The ICB believes that in general, the short-term nature of APMS Contracts do not provide longevity to enable strategic planning for the local area in the same way that GMS Contracts do. The HWE ICB want to ensure that we make effective use of resources and ensure financial sustainability for smaller practices such as Spring House Medical Centre, who have a current actual list size of 9314 (weighted list size: 7609). This approach will provide sustainability and continuity of services for both patients and the primary care workforce. The Provider will be expected to work collaboratively with the Primary Care Network (PCN) to ensure access to all PCN additional workforce and services, along with the local GP Federation in the delivery of the Enhanced Access service; thus, creating a strong, safe and sustainable health and care system that is fit for the future. The Provider is expected to deliver core general medical services and all locally commissioned services; in collaboration with other system providers. To that end, HWE would like to engage providers through an Request for Information (RFI) process to receive feedback and understand potential interest from suitably qualified primary care providers for the provision of General Medical Services at Spring House Medical Centre. This is not a formal procurement exercise but a request for information, the intention of which is to: 1. Communicate the opportunity including an indicative future procurement timeline 2. Seek feedback from interested providers that may equitably inform the process 3. Invite interested providers to a providers to complete a questionnaire Further information, can be found, along with the Request for Information document, at: https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html. Please complete the RFI form and submit via Bravo by 29th December 2022 (12 Noon). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbc19d66-9529-4829-a587-0882623709f8 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Dec 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ATTAIN | | Locality | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE | | Post town | Slough | | Postcode | SL9 7QE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Gerrards Cross | | Westminster constituency | Chesham and Amersham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 8 Dec 2022 at 14:48 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbc19d66-9529-4829-a587-0882623709f8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbc19d66-9529-4829-a587-0882623709f8 8th December 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
