As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful bidder(s) for a period of 10 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 5 years (maximum contract duration 15 years).

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:
• Provide primary care services which are accessible, convenient and responsive
• 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)
