Contact usUnderstanding GP Services
General Practice (GP) services play a vital role in the UK's healthcare system. Understanding these services is essential for organisations involved in bidding for healthcare contracts.
General practices are typically the first contact point for patients seeking medical help. They offer a range of services, including consultations, check-ups, and preventative care. Most GP services operate as small to medium-sized businesses, providing care to local communities.
Each practice might focus on unique health needs based on the demographics of their area. Practices often include a team of healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, and administrative staff. This team works together to ensure patients receive comprehensive care and support.
Funding and Commissioning Landscape
The funding of GP services largely comes from NHS budgets, which are influenced by government policies and local health needs. Understanding how funding is allocated can help in tailoring your bids effectively.
Commissioning involves the process by which services are planned and bought. Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) play a significant role in this process. They assess local health needs and allocate resources accordingly. Being aware of these dynamics is crucial when preparing bids, as aligning your proposals with funding priorities can improve success rates.
APMS Tenders & Contracts
An APMS (Alternative Provider Medical Services) contract is one of the types of contracts that NHS England uses to commission general practice services. It allows a wide range of providers, including commercial companies, to deliver primary medical services in a flexible way. APMS contracts are often used to address gaps in services, especially in areas with a shortage of GPs, by enabling non-traditional providers to step in. This creates an opportunity for commercially focused and entrepreneurial Trusts, GPs and businesses to compete and tender, win and delivery these regional healthcare services contracts.
We have experience of bidding for APMS contracts, Walk in Centres, Urgent Treatment Centres, Out of Hours and NHS 111. We have also worked in other areas such as integrated sexual health, mental health, pathology, and prison healthcare contracts.

Writing a Winning GP Services Tender Submission
Creating a successful bid requires attention to detail and understanding the specific requirements of the project. Focusing on the brief and providing clear, evidence-backed propositions enhances your chances of success.
Analysing the Brief
Start by thoroughly analysing the tender brief. This means identifying the specific requirements and understanding what the organisation seeks. Break down the brief into manageable parts, noting key phrases, goals, and evaluation criteria.
Create a checklist of the essential elements mentioned in the brief. This helps ensure that you address all requirements. Pay attention to deadlines and submission guidelines, as failing to follow these can disqualify your bid.
Additionally, consider the context around the tender. Research the organisation, their previous contracts, and any current challenges they face. This information will help tailor your bid to align with their needs.
Developing a Clear Value Proposition
Your value proposition should clearly outline why your services are the best choice. Focus on what sets you apart from competitors. Highlight your unique skills, experience, and any specialised knowledge that relates to the project.
Use specific examples to illustrate your past successes. This could include metrics such as improved patient outcomes or cost efficiencies. Presenting data-backed results strengthens your case.
Keep your language simple and direct. Avoid jargon that may confuse the reader. Clearly express how your services will meet the needs of the organisation while providing added benefits.
Risk Management and Mitigation
Address potential risks in your bid. Identify challenges that may arise during the project and how you plan to manage them. Being proactive about risk management shows your capability and foresight.
Create a risk register that includes:
- Type of Risk: Describe the potential issue.
- Impact: Explain the possible effects on the project.
- Mitigation Strategies: Outline how you intend to handle each risk.
This structured approach demonstrates that you are prepared for the unexpected. It instills confidence in your ability to deliver despite challenges.
Evidence-Based Outcomes
Support your claims with evidence-based outcomes. This could include statistics, case studies, or testimonials from previous clients. Use this data to paint a clear picture of your success.
Incorporate charts or tables to present your results visually. This enhances understanding and showcases your achievements effectively.
Make sure your evidence relates directly to the bid. If applicable, include outcomes from similar projects or services. This relevance adds weight to your submission and illustrates your capacity to deliver the desired results.

Provision of Primary Medical Services at Kingfisher Surgery, Newport Pagnell, Milton KeynesUK Luton NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care BoardThe commissioner has made a strategic decision not to re-procure 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 the population in the longer term, as we have found that smaller practices operated under APMS contracts in this area have frequently struggled with resilience and recruitment issues.<br/><br/>Kingfisher Surgery has an actual patient list size of 6798 and weighted 6425.44 as of September 2023. The ICB has a strong desire that the current premises located at Elthorne Way, Newport Pagnell MK16 0JR are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services. 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 providers, thus retaining the current premises with managed list dispersal to the successful bidder. Practices outside the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes area will need to ensure they have their home ICB’s support for this opportunity.<br/><br/>As a branch of the successful bidder’s existing GMS contract, the annual contract value represented by the branch surgery will reflect global sum rates.<br/><br/>Please note in terms of the advertised contract length, this is a GMS contract, meaning it will be held in perpetuity despite what the contract end date may say in the notice due to system limitations.

APMS Caretaking Services for Ivel Medical Centre, BiggleswadeUK Luton NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care BoardNHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board (BLMK ICB) (referred to<br/>as the Commissioner) is inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers who currently<br/>hold either a GMS or an APMS contract/s to deliver GP services in the BLMK area, to express<br/>an interest in delivering caretaking services for Ivel Medical Centre in Biggleswade, Central<br/>Bedfordshire, by responding to this opportunity as required and described in this document,<br/>and within the published tender.<br/><br/>Ivel Medical Centre is situated in the pleasant market town of Biggleswade in Central<br/>Bedfordshire. Following the Covid pandemic, the practice has experienced challenges<br/>relating to access, patient demand and expectation which has led to some negative publicity<br/>in the local area about the practice and in part has impacted on recruitment and retention,<br/>particularly of GPs. The main issues have related to concerns about access, patients not<br/>being able to book appointments in person at the practice, the telephone system, and staff<br/>turnover. No concerns have been raised about the quality of patient clinical care.<br/><br/>The caretaker provider will need to demonstrate how they will ensure adequate clinical<br/>staffing is in place to meet the needs of the practice population and have a clear plan for how<br/>they will address the individual operational concerns, listed above, as well as positively<br/>promote the practice in the local area. Bidders will be required to demonstrate how they will<br/>deal with and overcome the issues in their responses to the technical questions published<br/>with this tender pack.<br/><br/>Given the issues listed above and the urgent need to stabilise the services provided at Ivel<br/>Medical Centre, the ICB has decided the most appropriate way to achieve this aim is to offer<br/>the caretaking services only to current GMS or APMS providers who are already delivering<br/>primary medical care services in the BLMK area as they will already be familiar with the local<br/>systems, pathways, processes, and have established links with local system stakeholders.<br/><br/>The caretaker provider will need to use their knowledge of delivery of primary care medical<br/>services within BLMK to mobilise quickly and bring stability to the practice’s staff and patients<br/>while building resilience and providing reassurance to the local community. This will enable<br/>the ICB to ensure a safe and sustainable GP service is delivered while they work with local<br/>system partners to develop, consider and implement longer term plans for meeting the<br/>ongoing general practice needs of patients.

Provision of primary medical services at Neath Hill Health Centre, Milton KeynesUK Luton NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care BoardThe 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 the population in the longer term, as the Commissioner has found that smaller practices operated under APMS contracts in this area have frequently struggled with resilience and recruitment issues.<br/><br/>Neath Hill Health Centre has an actual patient list size of 4,008 (weighted 3608.07) as of January 2023. The ICB has a strong desire that the current premises located at 1 Tower Crescent, Neath Hill, Milton Keynes, MK14 6JY, are maintained within primary care ensuring adequate access, capacity, and resilience for general practice services.<br/><br/>As a branch of the successful bidder’s existing GMS contract, the annual contract value represented by the branch surgery will reflect global sum rates.

Primary Medical Services in Sherford (Plymouth)UK Exeter NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning GroupThere is an immediate need to provide General Practice (GP) facilities to the population of Sherford. GP provision will need to be sustainable and long-term, to grow as Sherford grows. The provider, under an existing general medical services/personal medical/ services/ alternative provider medical services (GMS/PMS/APMS) contract will need to work with the developers, councils, NHS Devon CCG and community services to help shape primary medical services in line with the NHS long-term plan and NHS Devon’s Primary Care Strategy.Sherford is a new town development, currently being built on the outskirts of Plymouth situated just off the A38 between Plympton and Plymstock, expected to deliver some 5 500 new homes, with an estimated 13 200 population, a new town centre (close to the new junction with the A38) and two new village centres, in the south eastern (Phase 1, close to Plymstock) and northern parts of the town.As at January 2020, some 300 homes have been built and occupied. Current annual build out rate is 150 houses.Phase 1:1 is for 600 houses, of which 300 are currently occupied.1a: a further 200 have been consented.1b: another 500 awaiting consent, expected to commence end 2020.A leisure centre, with swimming pool, is being built as part of the Phase 1 development with planning application in process, also includes the first of the primary schools being developed and a retail area.The trigger point for the first of these permanent provisions is 1 300 homes (for the single, town centre site) or 1 375 homes (for the first of the neighbourhood sites), which are approximately 5-8 years away at a minimum (subject to build-out rates). The trigger point for a temporary facility at 300 occupations, has already been reached and exceeded.Due to recent changes seen in the Covid-19 Pandemic the Sherford Consortium is currently reviewing the S106 provision to ensure it is fit for purpose.Reviewing the current build-out plans for Sherford, the CCG has taken an informed decision that an interim GP provision should be provided as part of the phase 1 development, to be implemented at the earliest possible opportunity. The interim provision is to provide primary care capacity for the next 8 years (approx. timeline for permanent hub to be confirmed) until a permanent hub opens in the new town Centre.This timeline is indicative, and the preferred bidder, as part of an existing primary care network, would need to consider a robust service delivery model able to flex according to the future development of the town.The design and delivery of both interim and long-term primary care services in Sherford must reflect the strategic intent set out in the NHS long term plan and key local strategic plans such as• Devon Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) priorities;• Devon STP Integrated Care Model Blueprint;• NHS Devon CCG’s primary care priorities;• general practice forward view including the emergence and development of Primary Care Networks and• Plymouth City and Devon County Council’s priorities including those for adult social care.General practice is a hugely important and valuable part of the local system of health and wellbeing. System priorities include transforming the model of care such that people seek support in other settings (e.g. wellbeing hubs, advice and information, online resources) as a more appropriate alternative to their GP practice, and integrating services.The current population of Sherford is 1,120. This is estimated to increase to a population of 3 040 people in 4 years’ time. It is estimated that between 760 and 1 520 people will need to register as a new patient within the next 4 years.Based on the GMS rate less out-of-hours opt-out currently GBP 89.88 per patient (adjusted for weighting) the annual value is estimated to be between GBP 68 309 and GBP 136 617.

GP at Hand Independent Evaluation on behalf of NHS Hammersmith & Fulham CCGUK London NHS Hammersmith and Fulham CCGThe app enables patients to access GP services 24/7, at short notice, via a virtual appointment using video conferencing and voice calls on a smartphone. Patients can also access symptom-checker services (driven by Babylon’s Artificial Intelligence tool) and health monitoring software. If patients need a face-to-face appointment they can access in-person services in one of GP at Hand’s 6 London-based sites. All patients accessing the service de-register from their previous NHS practice, and register with GP at Hand.The service takes advantage of the National GP Choice policy to allow patients from across London to register with the service, with plans to expand the service nationwide. There are some limitations put on registrations from people with more complex care needs, who might need greater continuity of care, and more face-to-face support – with NHS England’s clinical review recommending that those individuals seek advice before registering.
