## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is planning a tender for the provision of GP Services (APMS) at the Whitehouse Health Centre located in the Western Expansion Area of Milton Keynes. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with a Market Engagement Event scheduled for 10:30am on 3rd May 2019. Interested providers must register by 3pm on 1st May 2019 to attend this event. The service is expected to commence on 1st April 2020, supporting the delivery of primary care to an estimated patient list of approximately 22,500 residents in the area, which currently lacks GP coverage.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare providers, particularly those specialising in primary care services. Businesses that can offer innovative GP-led services, as well as training and supporting clinical staff, will be well-positioned to compete. Providers that can deliver flexible, patient-centred care, including extended hours and community engagement strategies, will be particularly attractive to the commissioning authority, as these align with the CCG's vision for integrated healthcare delivery in Milton Keynes.
