This tender, titled "NHS Calderdale CCG - The Provision of a Primary Medical Service (APMS Contract) - Market Test," aims to identify a provider for approximately 2,700 patients in the Todmorden locality, with a contract period of five years starting from 1st April 2020. The engagement period for interested parties ends on 30th October 2019, and potential providers are encouraged to express their interest through NHSSourcing, which will facilitate the procurement process following market feedback. This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that have the capacity and capability to provide primary care services. Businesses that excel in offering high-quality medical services, especially those experienced in working within the NHS framework and familiar with the requirements of an APMS contract, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, potential providers who can ensure continuity of care and actively engage in the Primary Care Network will have a competitive advantage in this procurement opportunity. ## Notice NHS Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as the Contracting Authority is seeking to identify a suitable partner to provide Primary Care Medical Services for a practice population of approximately 2,700 patients residing in or around the Todmorden locality. This population is currently served as part of a current APMS contract which will expire at the end on March 2020. Under an APMS contract the successful Bidder(s) will be required to provide high quality general medical services to the practice populations referred to above and ensure continuity of service provision for patients. The CCG has identified the potential for this population to be served through the letting of an APMS GP practice contract on the following basis. The CCG requires that the following is understood and confirmed by potential providers as the basis of their interest: * The reimbursement will be based on the prevailing GMS rate per registered patient which is currently PS89.88 per patient. Additional reimbursements around QOF, DES, premises etc. will apply as per current national guidance and achievement criteria. * The APMS contract period is for 5 years with a core contract first year value of PS243,000 based on a list size estimate of 2,700 (excluding additional reimbursements as noted above). It should be noted that financial envelope is non-negotiable. * List size of approximately 2,700 patients * We would expect services to be provided from the current premises located within Todmorden Health Centre and rent reimbursements will apply in line with national guidelines. * We would expect services to be delivered by the current workforce under TUPE regulations * Core/essential services provided at Todmorden Health Centre location from 8.00am to 6.30pm (Monday to Friday) * We would expect membership of and active participation in the Primary Care Network * Capacity and capability to provide the service from 1st April 2020 Based on the above, the CCG is keen to receive expressions of interest from suitably qualified potential bidders Additional information: Please note that an expression of interest in delivering The Provision of a Primary Medical Service is not a tender response.
