The current patient list size for these services is circa 4,700 patients across the two practices . These services must be provided by GPs and nurses and the successful Provider will be expected to:

• Be eligible for and expected to provide all Enhanced Services, remunerated in line with the relevant Directions as specified by the commissioner on an annual basis.
• Promotion of healthy living with the aim of tackling the underlying causes of ill health

This opportunity will be open to the entire market, including the current providers. It is intended that the tender will be published around the 8th April. As this tender is for existing services, the services must be fully operational by the service commencement date of 1st October 2016 in order to ensure continuity of care for patients.
