Primary Care Medical Services at Arlesey Medical Centre and Shortstown Surgery

The Authority (NHS BLMK CCG) invites responses from suitably qualified and experienced General Medical Services (GMS) contract holding providers to deliver Primary Medical Services as a 'branch with patient list' from two practices; Arlesey Medical Centre (Lot 1) Shortstown Surgery (Lot 2) from 1st November 2022 The Contract for both Lots that make up this procurement (Arlesey Medical Centre and Shortstown Surgery) is the NHS General Medical Service (GMS); a contract which will be held in perpetuity by a practice (as a branch surgery with patient list for a General Medical Services contractor). The Authority 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 Clinical Commissioning Group (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. The annual value pertaining to each separate Lot based on 21/22 figures is the following: • Arlesey (Lot 1) - £436,200 • Shortstown (Lot 2) - £361,976 these figures represent the Global Sum that is calculated based on weighted list size using the Carr Hill Formula.
