This Request for Information (RFI) exercise aims to understand the market's capacity for delivering two Alternative Provider Medical Service (APMS) GP Contracts, one in Bolton and the other in Heywood, Rochdale, and Middleton. Interested parties must submit their responses by 12:00 noon on 27 February 2023. The procurement method involves the use of an electronic tendering portal managed by In-Tend. The tender presents growth opportunities for businesses interested in providing health and social work services in the North of England region. Companies involved in medical services for GP contracts in the healthcare sector are well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement stage is set as 'planned,' indicating that potential providers need to express interest for future tender opportunities once a contract notice is published. The key dates for the RFI exercise start from 13 February 2023. Interested parties should review the detailed information provided and follow the necessary steps to engage with the procurement process. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS England (the Contracting Authority) and under co-commissioning of Great Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver two Alternative Provider Medical Service (APMS) GP Contracts one based in Bolton and one based in Heywood, Rochdale and Middleton.
