II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Lothian Health Board (more commonly known as NHS Lothian) (“NHS Lothian”) placed an advertisement on Public Contracts Scotland 28th October 2021 seeking expressions of interest from any parties interested in providing primary medical services to patients in Blackridge.
This requirement has arisen due to the resignation of the current independent contractor providing primary medical services located in the Blackridge Health Centre, Fleming Place, Blackridge, EH48 3SS to a list of 3972 patients. NHS Lothian wishes to select a new service provider with the capacity and capability to meet the needs of these patients by delivering high quality, patient-centred clinical services in a primary care setting, all in accordance with NHS Lothian’s requirements set out in Appendix 1 (“Requirement”). The services will build on existing best practice, and focus on a community and health and social care approach. The clinical services will be delivered in an environment that provides patient care of a standard consistent with that of similar services provided elsewhere within NHS Lothian.
It is NHS Lothian’s preference that Blackridge Health Centre remains as a single practice, although in the event that no satisfactory application is made for the provision of the services as a whole, consideration may be given to proposals from Applicants who wish to provide primary medical services for part of the practice. Any such application will be evaluated as a separate lot in accordance with the evaluation methodology below.
It will be important that Applicants involved in the planning and/or delivery of existing schemes and services can demonstrate that they have sufficient capacity so as not to prejudice delivery of primary medical services under any other contract an Applicant may have with NHS Lothian or pre-existing schemes or the ability of NHS Lothian itself to deliver services.
The successful Applicant will be required to enter into a contract with NHS Lothian on the terms of the General Medical Services Contract (“GMS Contract”) the form of which is prescribed by The National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Scotland) Regulations 2018, as amended, or replaced from time to time. Performance by the successful Applicant under the terms of the GMS Contract will be subject to these Regulations available at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2018/66/made
