II.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Hounslow CCG is contracting with Hounslow Consortium Limited.
The services included within the contract are mutually dependent upon the core GMS/PMS/APMS Contract. However, many services may require delivery at scale for the benefit of practices and patients, with inter-practice referral arrangements in place. This mutual dependency means that the Hounslow Primary Care Contract is commissioned exclusively from Hounslow Consortium Limited, a legal entity whose membership includes, NHS Hounslow CCG based providers who deliver essential primary medical services to a list of patients under either General Medical Services Contract (GMS), Personal Medical Services Contract (PMS) or Alternative Provider Medical Services Contract (APMS) membership of local list-based providers.
The contract will be for a period of 2 years, with the possibility of up to a 2 year extension to this term.
The new contractual arrangements will reduce the transactional burden on the CCG and GP practices, releasing management and clinical time to focus on the delivery of patient care. The contract will also support the consistency of standards across primary care.
