Description

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board (the Authority) intends to award multiple contracts for the provision of Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) to incumbent providers across Mid and South Essex under Direct Award Process C in accordance with the Provider Selection Regime 2023. This approach reflects a strategic commissioning decision to ensure continuity and stability of primary care services where current providers are delivering safe, effective, and patient-centred care with no identified quality concerns, while also demonstrating value for money and strong integration within Primary Care Networks and local neighbourhood models. The proposed awards support the ICB’s objectives to maintain service continuity, manage demand and workforce pressures, and improve population health outcomes, while responding to local market capacity constraints and avoiding service disruption. Contracts will be aligned to existing service models and are not materially different in character from current arrangements, with the intention of enabling ongoing delivery of accessible, responsive primary medical services and supporting longer-term system planning. Please see II.2.4) Description of the procurement for further details.
