Official UK procurement notice
BLMK Primary Medical Services – Branch with patient list
Authority: BLMK CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP (NHS & healthcare)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Authority (BLMK CCG) has taken a strategic decision not to re-procure GP contracts of around 10,000 weighted list size or below as stand-alone APMS contracts, to ensure robust and sustainable long-term delivery of services. The CCG has a strong desire that the current premises are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services. The CCG has decided that the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to advertise these practices as branches with patient lists, thus retaining the current premises with managed list dispersal to the successful bidder/s.
Therefore, BLMK CCG is seeking interest from existing general medical services (GMS) GP contractors to take on:
- Arlesey Medical Centre and/or
- Bramingham Park Medical Centre and/or
- Kingsway Health Centre and/or
- Shortstown Surgery premises
All as branch surgeries with the current patient lists (by allocation while noting patient registration choice) - from 1 October 2022 for Arlesey Medical Centre, Bramingham Park Medical Centre, and Kingsway Health Centre and from 1 November 2022 for Shortstown Surgery.
