## Summary

The procurement process for the "APMS Temporary Caretaking Arrangements for Meir Park and Weston Coyney GP Medical Services," initiated by NHS Stoke-on-Trent Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), relates to services in the healthcare industry. This procurement process, now complete, followed a tender method and primarily aimed at ensuring the provision of general practitioner services. The contract was awarded to North Staffordshire GP Federation Limited, and it is believed to cover a contract value of approximately £1,374,000. Key dates include the contract signing on 6th June 2022, with the previous caretaker contract concluding on 25th July 2022. The services will continue to be delivered at two locations in Stoke-on-Trent: Meir Park and Weston Coyney Medical Practice.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses in the healthcare and medical services sector, especially those with capabilities in general practitioner services or caretaking arrangements. Given the direct award process via the Pseudo' Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS), established suppliers already on the framework are in a favourable position to continue or extend their service agreements. Engaging in this tender can help businesses expand their service delivery while ensuring continuity of care for a significant patient list, thereby contributing to their growth strategy in the public health sector.

## Notice

An emergency and temporary caretaking arrangement was put into place with the current provider (North Staffordshire GP Federation) following the termination of the GMS contract in July 2021. The APMS contract covers all aspects of General Medical Services that are outlined in the National GMS Contract. Meir Park and Weston Coyney Medical Practice (M83047) Main Site: Lysander Road, Meir, Stoke-on-Trent, ST3 7TW. Branch Site: Meir Primary Care Centre, Weston Road, Meir, Stoke-on-Trent, ST3 6AB. List Size as at April 2022 - Raw: 6585, Weighted:6989 Due to Stoke-on-Trent CCG not currently being in a position to conclude on the future of a permanent solution, a further caretaking arrangement is required to secure service provision for the next 18 months (subject to change, this contract could be concluded sooner providing 3 months notice).
