The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, involves engaging potential providers to introduce a multidisciplinary workforce of clinicians to deliver core Primary Care and associated services for the local resident population. The engagement end date is set for 8th August 2023, and interested businesses are encouraged to explore the opportunity for market views and suitability to participate in this service delivery exercise. This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to offer innovative solutions that combine primary care approaches with wider community partnerships. Businesses well-suited to compete are those with experience in healthcare service provision and a commitment to working collaboratively with local populations. The Commissioner is interested in exploring market dynamics before any formal procurement process, emphasising the importance of community-centric healthcare approaches for improved health outcomes and user experiences in the West Birmingham area. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of Birmingham and Solihull (ICB) (The Commissioner) would like to notify the market of a potential new opportunity to deliver APMS Services for the West Birmingham area. Expressions of Interest are sought from providers, who would be able to introduce a multidisciplinary workforce of clinicians but must not deplete from the existing capacity in the area. The provider will also be required to deliver core Primary Care and associated prevention, protection and wellbeing services to meet the needs of the local resident population. The Commissioner is keen to explore the opportunity for APMS/GMS providers to combine core primary care approaches with wider community partners offers in support of improved health outcomes and associated wider benefits to the local community. Community approaches developed with communities and a focus on the wider determinants of health and improved user experience is sought. Innovation and a commitment to working with the local population to meet a range of priority needs is deemed essential. The Commissioner wishes to invite suitably qualified and experienced providers to help gain market views on the viability of procuring the delivery of these requirements from suitable premises in the West Birmingham area. The Commissioner is also seeking the views of potential bidders on the approach to market and wishes to gain feedback via an on-line questionnaire.

This is purely an early engagement exercise; any subsequent procurement will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when published. This is a market testing exercise and does not commit the Commissioners to carry out a procurement process. If more than one compliant provider registers an interest for this opportunity, meets the requirements set out in this Notice and the questionnaire then the ICB may set out details for a competitive process. Should only one provider register an interest and meet the requirements, the ICB reserve the right to award to that provider without further publication following due diligence checks.
