An APMS Transitional Payment of £355k is offered, paid equally over the first 18 months of the contract. The practice will be entitled to provide additional services commissioned by the CCG, including Local Enhanced Services, Prescribing Quality Scheme and Supplementary Services. These attract additional income from the CCG. Payment for these services is dependent on the provider signing up to agreed service specifications. Including this additionally achievable income, the contract value over 8 years is an estimated £15,861,738, with an estimated additional value of £3,876,559 for the option to extend for up to 2 years, making an estimated contract value up to £19,738,297.

Providers will need to demonstrate ability to work dynamically, integrating with the new Inner City PCN as well as contribute to the success of the Inner City and East Locality in their role to deliver new, innovative models of care working with VCSE, mental health, community providers and the local authority to meet the needs of the population. The CCG recognises the importance of strong primary care at the heart of integrated care systems, and is keen to engage providers who can demonstrate 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 and using digital channels to provide health care online consultations.
