## Description
NHS Devon CCG, on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement South West (NHSE/I SW) seeks Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from providers who have the capability and capacity (to be assessed as part of initial procurement process) to deliver Primary Care Medical Services from existing facilities in Plymouth (the Mayflower Group). 
The service will provide the full range of primary medical care services through an APMS contract with an expectation to provide a variety of Locally Enhanced Services delivered through an NHS Standard Contract. EOIs are also welcome from existing GMS or PMS contract holders.
The contract term is yet to be determined but will be for at least 9 years. The annual contract  value is approx. £3.76m based on 2021/22 values. The contract is due to commence April 2022.  This funding is based on core GMS funds.  It may be possible to consider additional, transitional funding that may be available following agreement of a robust business case that outlines the transitional steps that will be undertaken.  Such funding would be based on open book accounting to reflect actual costs incurred and would only be available for a limited period of the contract.
Interested parties must be eligible to hold an APMS (Alternative Provider Medical Services) contract and appropriate CQC registration.
The Key requirements, that you must confirm you are able to meet are:
•	Recent evidence of working at scale providing integrated health services within a community setting
•	On line and face to face services MUST be provided
•	Recurrent delivery within core GMS funding
•	Demonstrable knowledge of the patient population to be served and demonstrable evidence of delivering health care services to a similar group
•	Proven track record of recruitment and retention of clinical and support staff, with robust workforce plan
•	Recent evidence of high quality service delivery, which might include positive regulatory assessment
•	Demonstrable ability to provide high quality primary medical services
•	Evidence of managing significant service improvement and delivering change in a challenging environment
EOIs received will be used to help NHS Devon CCG finalise their commissioning and contracting approach for these services.
This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner(s).
