This open procurement process allows for broad participation from suitable providers. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for healthcare providers, especially those specialising in primary care services, to expand their operations within growing communities. With significant housing developments planned in the areas served by the practices, there is potential for increased patient lists, which can lead to higher revenues. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designed to foster competition and inclusivity in the healthcare sector. ## Notice NHS Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of NHS England - Midlands & East (East) and NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (referred to as the Commissioners) under fully delegated commissioning arrangements are inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver the Services of Primary Care Medical Services for Kirkley Mill Surgery and Nelson Medical Practice.

The latest CQC inspection was carried out on 17 January 2018 following an inspection in 2017 which placed the practice in special measures.
