## Notice

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (CWICB) (referred to as the Commissioner) is seeking expressions of interest from providers who currently hold from providers who currently hold a General Medical Services (GMS), Primary Medical Services (PMS) or Alternative Provider Medical Services Contract (APMS) contract to deliver primary medical services as a branch surgery with the current patient list and anticipated population growth (while noting patient registration choice) from 1st November 2023. Expressions of interest are being sought from providers to deliver primary medical services for an expected population of circa 6,000 patients during the Local Plan period within this development. Services must be available from commencement of the contract for the planned population from a suitable and approved premises for the delivery of GMS services. Please note the deadline for expressions of interest is 10:00am 7th July 2023. The Commissioner has reached a strategic decision not to procure a practice with an expected weighted list size below 10,000 patients as a stand-alone APMS contract, but to look at alternative contracting models. CWICB has therefore determined that the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to procure this contract as a branch surgery and is looking to secure a suitable contracting model to provide GMS services including the PCN DES and other locally commissioned GP Primary Care services to an area of expected population growth. The branch surgery site will eventually be served from a newly built premises which is currently in development and not yet under construction; the commissioner aims to collaborate with the provider of this service with regards to the development plan for the new built premises from 1st November 2023. The provider is expected to enter into a new lease when built, which is anticipated to be in the next 2 - 4 years. The contract holder will be expected to deliver services from 1st November 2023, as the service commencement date, and the contract will commence with a registered patient list of zero weighted patients on day 1. The weighted patient list size is anticipated to grow in line with population growth of up to circa 6,000, based on occupation within the local residential developments during the current Local Plan period up to 2034. Therefore, whilst the new premises is unavailable the Commissioner requires services to be delivered from an existing premises within a distance up to 5 miles of the proposed development site in Upper Lighthorne (postcode CV33 8AE) from commencement of the contract. The providers premises must be within the boundary map stated as in Appendix 1. Patients will then be offered services at the newly developed surgery premises once the branch surgery opens.
