(The financial entitlement across all six Lots, minus the allowable mobilisation budget is £91,003,559). The Lots: • Lot 1 - Y00999 - Oddfellows Health Centre & St Clements Health Centre – commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038 • Lot 2 - F81110 - Tilbury Health Centre – commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038 • Lot 3 - Y02807 - Thurrock Health Centre – commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038 • Lot 4 - F81206 - Commonwealth Health Centre – commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038 • Lot 5 - Y00033 - Purfleet Care Centre – commencing 1st July 2023 until 30th June 2038 • Lot 6 - F81684 - North Shoebury Surgery – commencing 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2038 The Authority is procuring all six lots as APMS contracts due to the time limited nature of them and flexibilities that they permit in terms of bidding audience e.g. whole of the market and the ability to agree the reporting schedules enabling KPIs that support delivery of the Long-term Plan and facilitates and enables the development of "at scale" provision through the PCN model of delivery. In line with the strategic aims for Mid & South Essex ICB, the system is committed to deliver primary care on a standard contract term to allow for delivery at scale and innovation by offering longer term arrangements. As such it is proposed that each contract will be awarded for a period of 15 years to give greater certainty for provider to improve value for money, ability to recruit, willingness to invest time and resources. We want to secure the right fit for the specific needs of that population. The contract that is to be entered into by the Authority and the Preferred Bidder will be governed by the Standard Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract.
