The procurement is in the Tender stage, with the official tender period ending on 15th March 2017. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2017, running initially for six weeks until 12th May 2017, with the possibility of a six-week extension until 22nd June 2017. Providers are required to submit their expressions of interest by email to the contact provided no later than noon on the deadline date. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in primary care services, particularly those with experience using the System One clinical system, to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete for this contract, as it entails essential clinical and administrative tasks following the retirement of a single-handed practitioner. As the services will be critical to managing health risks during the practice transition, companies equipped to deliver effective caretaking and management services are especially encouraged to express their interest. ## Notice NHS England (the Contracting Authority) London Region is inviting expressions of interest from suitable provider of Primary Care GP Services to undertake a GP Clinical system caretaking contract in London for North West London Medical Centre, 56 Maida Vale, W9 1PP based in London Borough of London Borough of Westminster. The GP at the North West London Medical Centre has informed NHS England that he will retire on 31st March 2017. The GP is a single-handed contract holder, the contract he holds with NHS England will terminate on 31 March 2017. As with any practice closure, there is likely to be a number of clinical and administrative tasks that will need to be undertaken after the practice has closed. We therefore need to put in place a temporary 'caretaking service' so that these tasks can be actioned accordingly and to ensure that any potential areas of clinical risk are identified and acted upon appropriately. Exact contractual and financial matters will be discussed at the selection stage. It is important to note the clinical system, System One, will be accessed from the Providers premises. Bidders will need to demonstrate they have experience in System One. The Contract will be for a period of 6 weeks - the initial contract period will be from 3rd April 2017 to 15th May 2017. The initial period is followed by an optional extension of 6 weeks to 25th June 2017 until the list has been dispersed. Expressions of interest must be submitted via email to england.lon-nw-pcc@nhs.net no later than 15th March 2017 12:00 (noon). This advertisement is a call for competition via an expression of interest stage. No further contract notice will be published for this contract. Providers interested in providing these services and who wish to be involved in any subsequent tender process related to this contract must respond to this advertisement by formally expressing an interest in this opportunity via the process described above. Bidders who do not express an interest by the stated deadline will not be invited to submit a proposal. Please note this contract is a clinical contract under "Schedule 3" of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is under the applicable threshold for Light Touch Regime procurements. Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage nor the use of the term "Invitation To Tender" nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that NHS England intend to hold themselves bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to service contracts under the relevant threshold for Light-Touch Regime contracts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ce34b8-2475-4130-9ca1-eaa0f8524b67 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2017 - 22 Jun 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | N E L COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 6LH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 13 Mar 2017 at 14:12 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ce34b8-2475-4130-9ca1-eaa0f8524b67 - 13 Mar 2017 at 13:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ce34b8-2475-4130-9ca1-eaa0f8524b67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ce34b8-2475-4130-9ca1-eaa0f8524b67 13th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5ce914e2-b6bd-4c0f-bb5c-7c103fe99d90 Details of Tasks and Timelines ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
