The successful Bidder will need to demonstrate that they can deliver services of a continuously high-quality and will be responsive to the needs of the local population.

The service must be GP led and provided by GPs, supported by nurses and other clinical professionals or healthcare workers throughout core hours. The successful Provider will be expected to:

• Provide primary care services which are accessible, convenient and responsive
