Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern CCGs - Primary Medical Services in Aylesbury

Tender description

NHS Chiltern and Aylesbury Vale CCGs sought to identify a provider for a GP Surgery in Aylesbury. The successful provider will provide the full range of primary medical services from 1st April 2018. The current Practice (Mandeville) 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. Given the size and demography of Mandeville Surgery registered list, the services were determined to be healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). Procurement was therefore issued in accordance with the "Light Touch Regime". Through this process Primary Care Management Solutions Ltd were identified as the most economically advantageous tender. The contract period will be an initial 5 years with option to extend for any period (or periods) up to a further 3 years. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
