NHSE884 - Elswick Family Practice APMS

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is working for and on behalf of NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) (the Relevant Authority) who intend to follow the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) process to award a contract for the provision of an Alternative Provider Medical Service (APMS) for patients of Elswick Family Practice.

The contract is a single APMS GP practice based in an urban area of the West End of Newcastle.

The current patient list size is 8,014 and patient demographics show a wide patient registration area with a significant proportion of the patients being of Bangladeshi origin.

In addition, the practice is contracted, via a local enhanced service, to support and provide health checks for up to 600 patients in asylum seeker contingency accommodation sites across the city. The patients are then registered with the practice for on-going routine patient care.

Premises are to be mandated for this service.

The contract will be for a period of 7 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years, commencing on 01 November 2024.

Contract fees are based on national GMS rates (minus OOH) and the full contract value is estimated to be £9,089,739 over the full contract term (9 years).
