Provision of Primary Medical Services (APMS) at Kingsway Health Centre and Bramingham Park Medical Centre, Luton and Brooklands Health Centre, Milton Keynes

Kingsway Health Centre has an actual patient list size of 11,027 (weighted 9802.53) as of September 2022 and Bramingham Park Medical Centre has an actual patient list size of 6,719 (weighted 5,941) as of September 2022.The Commissioner has made a strategic decision not to reprocure practices with a weighted list size below approximately 10,000 patients as stand-alone APMS contracts and to look at alternative contracting models. This is intended to ensure robust, resilient and high-quality services for our population in the longer term.These two practices are currently provided under two separate APMS contracts but share some back-room functions and staff. The Commissioner therefore believes that a single practice with a weighted list size of c16,000 would offer a greater possibility of robust, resilient, and economically viable long-term delivery of services at these two sites and is therefore offering a single contract to cover provision at both sites.Under current contractual arrangements, both practices are open from 8am-8pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 7.30am-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 8.30am-12.30pm on Fridays. The Commissioner is offering a new contract on core hours which will align with the national strategy of provision of enhanced access through PCNs.The contract will be for a duration of 5 years with the option to extend for up to a further 4 years with an estimated contract value (including the 4-year extension) of between £15.6 million - £16.3 million.

Brooklands Health Centre has an actual patient list size of 19,470 (weighted 14,938.94) as of September 2022 and further growth is expected. Under current contractual arrangements, the practice opens from 8am-8pm 365 days per year. The Commissioner is offering a new contract on core hours which will align with the national strategy of provision of enhanced access through PCNs.The contract will be for a duration of 5 years with the option to extend for up to a further 4 years with an estimated contract value (including the 4-year extension) of between £14.7 million - £15.4 million.
