This opportunity is specifically for providers holding a general medical services contract, with a deadline for ITT submissions set at 12:00 PM on 13th December 2023. The contracting authority aims to maintain the current premises to ensure access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services, making this a significant opportunity in the healthcare services category. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector to expand their operations by delivering primary medical services at Kingfisher Surgery. Entities with existing GMS contracts and experience in managing patient lists will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement stage is currently open, utilising an eTendering system, with a contract period starting on 1st April 2024. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are also encouraged to participate in this tender process to contribute to the provision of high-quality healthcare services in the East of England region. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (ICB) (referred to as the Commissioner) are seeking expressions of interest from providers who currently hold a general medical services (GMS) contract to deliver primary medical services at Kingfisher Surgery, Newport Pagnell, as a branch surgery with the current patient list (by allocation while noting patient registration choice) from 1st April 2024. Practices outside the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes area will need to ensure they have their home ICB's support for this opportunity. Please note the deadline for ITT submissions is 12:00PM (Midday) on 13th December 2023. The commissioner has made a strategic decision not to re-procure practices with a weighted list size below approximately 10,000 patients as stand-alone APMS contracts, and to look at alternative contracting models. This is intended to ensure robust, resilient, and high-quality services for the population in the longer term, as we have found that smaller practices operated under APMS contracts in this area have frequently struggled with resilience and recruitment issues. Kingfisher Surgery has an actual patient list size of 6798 and weighted 6425.44 as of September 2023. The ICB has a strong desire that the current premises located at Elthorne Way, Newport Pagnell MK16 0JR are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services. The ICB has therefore decided the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to offer this practice as a branch surgery with patient list to GMS providers, thus retaining the current premises with managed list dispersal to the successful bidder. As a branch of the successful bidder's existing GMS contract, the annual contract value represented by the branch surgery will reflect global sum rates. Please note in terms of the advertised contract length, this is a GMS contract, meaning it will be held in perpetuity despite what the contract end date may say in the notice due to system limitations. The Contracting Authority will be using an eTendering system for this market engagement exercise.
