two.1.4) Short description
The Contracting Authority (hereinafter referred to as "the Authority") for this procurement was NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB). On the 6th October 2022, the Authority invited responses from suitably qualified and experienced providers (via publication of a Contract Notice in FTS, reference 2022-043094) to deliver Primary Medical Services across up to six Lots, via Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) contract(s) for a period of 15 years.
Contracts for Lots 1 to 4 and Lot 6 will run from 01/04/23 - 31/03/38, and the contract for Lot 5 will run from 01/07/23 - 30/06/38. The aggregate value (forecasted financial entitlement) of the contract across all 6 Lots is £91,153,559, including up to £25,000 Allowable Mobilisation Budget on a cost incurred basis, per Lot, in Year 1). (The financial entitlement across all six Lots, minus the allowable mobilisation budget is £91,003,559).
The Lots:
• Lot 1 - Y00999 - Oddfellows Health Centre & St Clements Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038
• Lot 2 - F81110 - Tilbury Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038
• Lot 3 - Y02807 - Thurrock Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038
• Lot 4 - F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038
• Lot 5 - Y00033 - Purfleet Care Centre - commencing 1st July 2023 until 30th June 2038
• Lot 6 - F81684 - North Shoebury Surgery - commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038
The Authority has procured all six lots as APMS contracts due to the time limited nature of them and flexibilities that they permit in terms of bidding audience e.g. whole of the market and the ability to agree the reporting schedules enabling KPIs that support delivery of the Long-term Plan and facilitates and enables the development of "at scale" provision through the PCN model of delivery. In line with the strategic aims for Mid & South Essex ICB, the system is committed to deliver primary care on a standard contract term to allow for delivery at scale and innovation by offering longer term arrangements. As such, each contract has been awarded for a period of 15 years to give greater certainty for provider to improve value for money, ability to recruit, willingness to invest time and resources. We want to secure the right fit for the specific needs of that population.
The contract that is being entered into by the Authority and the Preferred Bidder will be governed by the Standard Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract.

1. Appropriate alignment of the Service / Contract as a result of changes stipulated either nationally by NHSE&I or required locally by the Authority or it’s partners in the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System (MSE ICS), either to expand the service provision to include complementary Services, or to align the service to changes in need from the eligible service user population.
