The Nazeing Valley Health Centre is situated in the village of Nazeing in the Epping Forest district, Essex, England. The current weighted patient list size is 3147.52 as of 1st January 2018 with a fairly even age distribution in line with the national and CCG's average but slightly less males aged over 75 than the national average. Services to be provided: • A branch surgery • Essential Services • All Additional Services • Enhanced Services • Access to Primary Medical Services during core opening hours and service delivery from 8am - 6.30pm Monday to Friday (except statutory bank and public holidays) at the Nazeing Valley Health Centre or the provider's current main and/or other branch sites. West Essex CCG is 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 are delivering Primary Medical Services to a high standard and can run Nazeing Valley Health Centre as a branch surgery. In addition, providers will need to 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 available at [in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home). The deadline for responses is the 5th March 2018 at midday. The provider will need to deliver the full range of primary medical services from the branch surgery from 1st June 2018. Following responses to stakeholder engagement the Commissioner will contract for the Services using; either the NHS General Medical Services (GMS); or the NHS Personal Medical Services (PMS); or the NHS Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) contract. The contract period for an APMS contract will be an initial 3 years with the option to extend by up to a further 2 years. The contract form will be agreed with the successful bidder and will be dependent on whether there are any restrictions on the provider entering into different contract types. Based on current patient list and scope of services the annual contract value is £430k per annum (excluding set-up costs). Any future contract value is expected to be in line with any rise or fall in the patient list size, as may be the case. The total value including all options, set-up costs and possible extensions is £2.2m.
