Description

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGCSU) on behalf of Birmingham and Solihull (ICB) (The Commissioner) would like to notify the market of a potential new opportunity to deliver APMS Services for the West Birmingham area. Expressions of Interest are sought from providers, who would be able to introduce a multidisciplinary workforce of clinicians but must not deplete from the existing capacity in the area. The provider will also be required to deliver core Primary Care and associated prevention, protection and wellbeing services to meet the needs of the local resident population. The Commissioner is keen to explore the opportunity for APMS/GMS providers to combine core primary care approaches with wider community partners offers in support of improved health outcomes and associated wider benefits to the local community. Community approaches developed with communities and a focus on the wider determinants of health and improved user experience is sought. Innovation and a commitment to working with the local population to meet a range of priority needs is deemed essential. The Commissioner wishes to invite suitably qualified and experienced providers to help gain market views on the viability of procuring the delivery of these requirements from suitable premises in the West Birmingham area. The Commissioner is also seeking the views of potential bidders on the approach to market and wishes to gain feedback via an on-line questionnaire.

Other Information

The Contracting Authority will be using an e-Tendering system for this market engagement exercise. To express an interest and access the questionnaire go to the 'Live Opportunities' list on the e-tendering portal at the following link: https://health-familycontract search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects and register your interest. You can search for the opportunity by entering the following contract reference: C191709: Expressions of Interest for APMS Services for West Birmingham area. Please note the deadline for expressions of interest is 12:00pm on 8th August 2023. The responses received during the market assessment exercise will not be considered in any future evaluation process as part of the formal procurement process. This is purely an early engagement exercise; any subsequent procurement will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when published. This is a market testing exercise and does not commit the Commissioners to carry out a procurement process. If more than one compliant provider registers an interest for this opportunity, meets the requirements set out in this Notice and the questionnaire then the ICB may set out details for a competitive process. Should only one provider register an interest and meet the requirements, the ICB reserve the right to award to that provider without further publication following due diligence checks. The procurement will be advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services within the scope of Schedule 3 thereto(Social and Other Specific Services). The Commissioner and AGCSU are, therefore, bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services. Neither the publication of this notice nor the employment of any particular terminology nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations.
