seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Move from time limited APMS contract to disperse the registered list & be included on existing GMS (in perpetuity contract) of Birchwood Surgery (ODS code E82082).
Contract modification start date was 1st April 2024 and the modification is for a 12 month period.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
• Following a paper based early market engagement exercise and a stakeholder engagement event, there is interest from the incumbent provider to deliver this contract under the existing GMS contract as a branch site to Birchwood Surgery, which would be the main site for this contract
• The current CQC rating is Good across all domains
• The practice has an active PPG and conducts regular patient surveys which are published on the practice website. The last one was undertaken in 2020 and the results were between 4-5 stars out of 5 stars across 5 questions. The PPG is planning to run another survey this year
• In the latest GP Patient Survey, the practice was above national and ICB average for 'overall patient experience' and for 'experience of making an appointment'
• This option would be in the best interests of the patients and would be the most cost effective.
• Creation of a branch is less disruption to the patients and faster mobilisation to ensure continuity of care
For clarity and transparency purposes, all values mentioned within this notice are annual values. Lifetime value is unknown and subject to patient list fluctuations and Global Sum increases as per the General Medical Services Contract.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £1,281,531.38
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £2,049,622.88
