The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 10:00 am on Friday 7th July 2023. The services are categorised under "General-practitioner services" with a main procurement category of services. The location specified for service delivery is at Lister House Building, Derby, DE23 8RJ in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender opportunity, suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises, allows GMS/PMS contract holders to take over the branch surgery at St Thomas Road Surgery. Businesses in the healthcare industry with experience in delivering primary medical services are well-suited to compete. The procurement offers the chance to secure a contract serving a diverse population in a deprived area of Derby. Providers will need to demonstrate their commitment to quality patient care and operational resilience, taking over the patient list of 4,851 (weighted 4,127.97) starting from 1st April 2024. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) (referred to as the Commissioner) are seeking expressions of interest from providers who currently hold a General Medical Services (GMS) or Primary Medical Services (PMS) contract to deliver primary medical services at St Thomas Road Surgery, Derby, as a branch surgery with their current patient list of 4,851 (by allocation while noting patient registration choice) from 1st April 2024. Please note the deadline for expressions of interest is 10:00am Friday 7th July 2023. St Thomas Road Surgery primary care services is currently being delivered via a caretaker contract which will cease on 31st March 2024. In 2021/2022 a full procurement was undertaken which resulted in limited interest and the successful bidder subsequently withdrawing due to recruitment challenges and the limited staff resources available to transfer under the TUPE arrangement. The Commissioner is exploring an alternative contracting model to ensure that patients have good access to primary care services and for interested providers to demonstrate their commitment to quality and safe patient care and are operationally resilient to overcome the current challenges faced in general practice. 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/PMS providers, thus retaining the current premises with the patent list transferring to the successful bidder. As a branch of the successful bidder's existing GMS/PMS contract, the annual contract value represented by the branch surgery will reflect global sum rates. St Thomas Road Surgery provides services to a diverse population in a deprived area of Derby. The surgery has a raw patient list size of 4,851 (weighted 4,127.97) as of 1 April 2023. The ICB requires the services to be delivered from the current surgery premises located at Lister House Building, 207 St Thomas Road, Derby, DE23 8RJ. The premises lease is due to end on 24 March 2029, the new provider will be expected to enter into a new lease agreement with the landlord. The caretaker provider employed new staff directly under their existing GMS contract to support services at St Thomas Road Surgery due to the difficulty in employing staff on a short-term fixed contract. Therefore, new staff would not be eligible for TUPE at the end of the caretaker contract term. Interested providers are therefore to note the limited clinical and non-clinical resources available to transfer under the TUPE Agreement. As of publication date of this notice, the following staff are available for TUPE (which may be subject to change): 1x Practice Nurse 0.56 WTE 1x Patient Services/Quality Care-Coordinator 0.72 WTE ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0dcc45c-221b-4b3c-a8c0-8d8e263fc816 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Jul 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS DERBY AND DERBYSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 3QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby North | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85121100 - General-practitioner services ## Release History - 20 Jun 2023 at 10:28 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0dcc45c-221b-4b3c-a8c0-8d8e263fc816 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0dcc45c-221b-4b3c-a8c0-8d8e263fc816 20th June 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6fc1591e-ae1b-4e5b-af28-cb70134e3db2 CF additional information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
