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, each contract has been 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 being entered into by the Authority and the Preferred Bidder will be governed by the Standard Alternative Provider of Medical Services (APMS) Contract.
