## Description
NHS West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (WL CCG) was seeking to commission a provider to deliver medical services at Thurmaston Health Centre, Leicestershire under an Alternative Provider of Medical Services contract from the 18th of October 2021 for a weighted population of 6,703 patients. 
The Commissioners wished to receive responses to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) from suitably qualified and experienced Providers with the necessary skill and experience (or a demonstrable ability to provide the skill and experience) to provide the range of services required.
The aim of the service is to deliver all essential, additional and enhanced primary care services to all registered patients at the practice.
The Commissioner was seeking innovation in the provision of integrated primary care services, which align to both the national and local strategic plans, i.e.:

o	improve engagement with patients in the development of integrated primary care services ensuring the patient has more control over their own health and the care they receive.
b)	Preventing illness, tackling health inequalities:
