The Commissioner is looking to re-procure primary medical care services that are currently delivered through time limited APMS contracts which will expire on the 31st March 2021. The Invitation to Tender for this opportunity is due to be published in late July 2020.
The services must be GP led and provided by GPs, nurses and other clinical professionals or healthcare workers. The successful Provider will be expected to:

• Design services around the needs of patients and carers, ensuring they are offered more choice and a greater say in their treatment
• Reduce unplanned admissions to hospital by enabling patients to seek urgent care from a GP or Nurse practitioner
• Have processes in place to evaluate and continually improve on patient satisfaction
• Have processes in place to engage effectively with the local communities
• Participate in National Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF)
• 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.
• Promote healthy living with the aim of tackling the underlying causes of ill health.
• Work in a network with other practices across the local area
The new contracts are due to commence on 1st April 2021. The contracts will be offered for a duration of 10 years with the option to extend for up to a further 5 years (maximum contract duration 15 years). The contract value will be based on the nationally agreed GMS global sum price applied to the practices' weighted list size revised on a quarterly basis.
