The ICB's priorities include securing long-term sustainability and working at scale. The proposed contract length is at least 8 years (plus 4 years, plus 3) subject to NHS England approval before procurement . Population growth in the expanded area to be covered by the contract has an indicative growth of 1,000 to 2,500 in the proposed fifteen-year extended contract period. The APMS baseline price will be the GMS price. The 2025/26 GMS price is £117.48 per weighted patient (weighted list size being 10,309 for Cressex and is 5,840 for Chiltern as at 01/04/25) once out of hours deduction is applied (adjustments for 2025-26 pay award awaited). The ICB is also considering including a provision of Special Allocation Service (SAS) in Buckinghamshire, to the Cressex Health Centre APMS contract. Interested providers are required to complete the market engagement questionnaire by 5pm on the 08th December 2025. It is the ICB's intention to have a contract/service start date of 1st September 2026, with a mobilisation period of approx. 3 months (i.e. 1st June 2026 - 31st August 2026). This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 85121100 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F076601-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-11-24T15:56:49.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-29T19:14:26.583Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05e7b4
