The new contracts (one per lot) are to run for a period of 10 years with an option to extend to a further 5 years (maximum total contract duration 15 years). The deadline for ITT submissions is 10 a.m. on Wednesday 14 October 2020. The practice is part of the BACHS (Beechdale, Aspley, Cinderhill, Hyson Green, Strelley) Primary Care Network. The practice has 10 096 patients (10548.68 weighted) as of July 2020; the list size has increased in the past 12 months by 1 300 patients due to the closure of a local practice. The practice is situated in a highly deprived area with an Index of Multiple Deprivation (2019) of 36.1 compared to a Nottingham city average of 34.9 and national average of 21.7. Bilborough Medical Centre is currently under caretaking arrangements. An announced comprehensive CQC inspection took place in January 2020. The CQC have not given an overall rating for this practice because whilst improvement had been made by the new provider there was no published data available at that time to support their findings. The practice is part of the Byron Primary Care Network. The practice has 11 843 patients (12756.38 weighted) as of July 2020; the list size has remained fairly static over the past 12 months. Whyburn Medical Practice is currently under caretaking arrangements and so has a newly registered status with the CQC. This means there is not currently a CQC rating of the practice. The practice is part of the Arrow Health Primary Care Network. The practice has 5 487 patients (5468.58 weighted) as of July 2020; the list size has remained fairly static over the past 12 months. Peacock Healthcare is currently under caretaking arrangements and so has a newly registered status with the CQC. The practice is part of the City South Primary Care Network. The practice has 6 006 patients (6685.67 weighted) as of April 2020; the list size grew by approximately 500 patients between April and July 2019 following the closure of a nearby practice and has remained fairly stable since. In October 2016 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published a report into the practice. The CQC report rated the practice as Good overall and the practice achieved an ‘Outstanding’ rating in the caring domain and ‘Good’ ratings in all other domains (Safe, Effective, Responsive and Well-led).
