Total Quantity or Scope

St Thomas Road Surgery primary care services is currently being delivered via a caretaker contract which will cease on 31st March 2024. The Commissioner is exploring an alternative contracting model to ensure that patients have good access to primary care services and for interested providers to demonstrate their commitment to quality and safe patient care and are operationally resilient to overcome the current challenges faced in general practice. The ICB has therefore decided the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to offer this practice as a branch surgery with patient list to GMS/PMS providers, thus retaining the current premises with the patent list transferring to the successful bidder. Please note practices outside the Derbyshire area will need to ensure they have their home ICB’s support for this opportunity. As a branch of the successful bidder’s existing GMS/PMS contract, the annual contract value represented by the branch surgery will be circa £417,852 per annum (excluding VAT) this is based on global sum of £102.28 x 4,085.37 weighted list as of 1 July 2023.
