This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the healthcare sector, including general practitioners, healthcare providers, and organisations involved in primary care services. Providers who can deliver comprehensive primary medical services and possess the capability to engage in collaborative care across the local Primary Care Network will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, with a growing local population, businesses that can enhance patient access and contribute to improving healthcare outcomes in the Tower Hamlets area stand to benefit significantly from this contract. ## Notice NHS Tower Hamlets CCG (under delegated commissioning on behalf of NHS England) is seeking to procure one or more high-quality provider(s) to deliver GP Primary Medical Services and additional services as specified below, under two 5+ 5+ 5 (15 max total) years APMS Contracts from 1st October 2021, delivered from the sites as defined below for the two contracts.
