This notice is placed as an Early Engagement Notice and relates only to a pre-procurement provider engagement event. NHS Chiltern and Aylesbury Vale CCGs wish to identify a provider for a GP Surgery in Aylesbury. The successful provider will need to provide the full range of primary medical services at the practice from 01 April 2018, mobilising from December 2017. The current Practice is situated on the Southcourt Estate in Aylesbury. The patient list comes mainly from this estate and comprises young families with significant deprivation and ethnic mix. An older patient list from the Elmhurst area of Aylesbury is also included in the list. The current list size is approx. 15,700 patients as of the 1st of April 2017. Services to be provided • Essential Services • All Additional Services • Core opening hours and service delivery from 8am - 6.30pm Monday to Friday (except statutory bank and public holidays) • Extended hours to 8pm Monday to Friday and weekend hours to be determined in consultation with patients. The CCGs are looking for a patient-centred approach to care delivery that is user friendly and culturally sensitive and encompasses national and local public health targets. We are also looking for providers who can demonstrate a willingness to deliver a number of key design principles e.g. improving access and promoting prevention and self-care, as part of core service delivery. The full scope of the service can be found in the draft service specification that will be made available to those providers expressing interest. The contract period will be an initial 5 years with the option to extend by a further 2 years.
