Description

Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of NHS England Midlands & East (Central Midlands) and NHS Milton Keynes CCG (MKCCG) would like to inform potential Providers of the intention to procure Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) for the below GP medical practice.

• Neath Hill Health Centre, 1 Tower Crescent, Neath Hill, Milton Keynes MK14 6JY

AGCSU will be managing this Procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the \"Regulations\"). The Service(s) are being procured as \"Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services\" and AGCSU is bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services.

The Contract will be for a minimum period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 year (this will be subject to approval from MKCCG, MKCCG will be the Commissioners as of 1 April 2017).

It is envisaged that TUPE will apply to the contract. The estimated core contract value for Neath Hill Health Centre will be £904,938 over the 3 year contract period; with the extension of the contract this would result in the contract value increasing to circa £1,508,000, this excludes costs for QOF and Enhanced Services. This equates to £301,646 per annum. It is essential that interested Providers must be able to demonstrate an ability to mobilise the service to ensure a service commencement date of 1 July 2017.

The key objective is to deliver a compliant comprehensive procurement process for the appointment of a successful Bidder that fully meets the Service specification criteria for delivery of quality service. This will be via the open procurement process. The successful Bidder will be awarded an Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contract that will meet the technical and financial requirements for NHS England Midlands & East (Central Midlands). The current APMS (Alternative Provider Medical Services) contract includes the obligation to provide all Essential and Additional Services and a wide range of Enhanced Services.
