Tender description

Expressions of interest are invited from appropriately experienced and capable providers to commence an engagement with NHS Wandsworth Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to assist the CCG to develop its commissioning intentions for both a GP Practice and a primary care hub service to be delivered jointly, from The Junction Health Centre (“The Junction”), Clapham, London. The CCG is in the process of undertaking patient and public engagement, as well as seeking necessary approvals from NHS England, in regard to the future provision of primary care services from the junction. Engagement with interested providers will assist to validate the viability of the commissioning intentions and commercial model currently being developed. The current GP practice provision is via an APMS contract which is due to expire in March 2020. Whilst needing to commission a new APMS contract for a registered patient list size of 8 300, the CCG wishes to explore how this could potentially be provided as an integrated model incorporating a primary care hub service which would offer services to a wider patient population registered with other local GP practices, as well as to those who are non-registered but resident in the Borough. It is intended that “Hub” services will offer routine primary medical service appointments to Wandsworth registered and resident population outside of core opening hours, bookable by the patient’s own GP or via NHS 111.
