The format of the event will be a presentation from the commissioners followed by a Q&A. The information gathered will inform the approach to the procurement process.
The ICB has determined that there is a need for services to remain at the existing sites and therefore in order to ensure that there is no interruption to patients’ continuity of care and access requirements, and is therefore undertaking a single one-stage procurement under the Light Touch Regime for all six contracts, with each acting as a separate and individual ‘lot’ and subsequent contract, to enable the mobilisation of a new provider from 1 April 2023 for five of the contracts, and 1st July 2023 for one of the contracts.
Lot 1 - Y00999 - Oddfellows Health Centre & St Clements Health Centre – actual list of 11,800 as at 1st April 2022 (THIS LOT)
Lot 2 - F81110 - Tilbury Health Centre – actual list of 12,178 as at 1st April 2022
Lot 3 - Y02807 - Thurrock Health Centre – actual list of 12,502 as at 1st April 2022
Lot 4 - F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre – actual list of 5,740 as at 1st April 2022
Lot 5 - Y00033 - Purfleet Care Centre – actual list of 6,358 as at 1st April 2022
Lot 6 - F81684 - North Shoebury Surgery – actual list of 6,394 as at 1st April 2022
The ICB is procuring 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.
It is proposed that each contract will be awarded for a period of 15 years; Lots 1 to 4 and Lot 6 from 01/04/23 - 31/03/38, and Lot 5 from 01/07/23 - 31/03/38.
The indicative date for the ITT to be released is 3rd October 2022. All organisations wishing to attend the event must complete, and return a Booking Form via the eProcurement portal (https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html) via Current Opportunities (Ref "sq_74 - Market Engagement Event - MSE ICB Primary Care Multi-lot APMS Procurement (Thurrock and Southend)") by no later than by no later than 20th September 2022.
