A thorough review of the options available was undertaken and it was felt that the restriction via the five-mile radius presented the most practical, patient-centred definition of access and coverage. \nThe practice is currently managed under a caretaker arrangement, and the intention of the process is to allocate the existing site and list as an additional site to an existing GMS contract within a five-mile radius of the Bluebell Surgery premises within the SNEE ICB area.\nThe existing GMS contract of the successful provider in this procurement will be varied to include the services to be provided at the Bluebell Surgery.\nThe current contract for the provision of primary medical care services will expire on 30th April 2026.  The current contract value is approximately \u00a3337,036 per annum, which is based on the patient list.\nPrimary care providers must:\n\u2022 be located within a 5km radius of the Bluebell Surgery, Jack Andrews Drive, Highwoods, Colchester, Essex, CO4 9YN.\n\u2022 operate this site as a \"branch\" site alongside existing premises. \n\u2022 mobilise the service for the 1st May 2027\n\u2022 deliver operating hours from this Premises which mirror the overall contract core hours (the period beginning at 8.00am and ending at 6.30pm on any day from Monday to Friday except Good Friday, Christmas Day or bank holidays).\n\u2022 deliver to the Bluebell Surgery population essential services, minor surgery and any other agreed enhanced services from this Premises.\n\u2022 depending on the boundaries of the existing contract, will agree to either re-draw the practice area line to include all the existing boundary area and Bluebell boundary or accept the later boundary as an addition standalone practice area. There is no outer boundary provision for the Bluebell Surgery.\nThis notice is to inform providers of the release of documentation to initiate a competitive process to secure a Provider to deliver this service.\nIn order to express an interest in this service and access the documentation, free of charge, please register on the In-tend portal via the following address and express an interest in the Bluebell Branch Surgery GMS opportunity under \u0027current tenders\u0027.\nhttps://in-tendhost.co.uk/snee-icb/aspx/Home\nThe deadline for submissions is 12:00 (noon) 24th October 2025.\nIf you have any questions, please send them as a correspondence through the In-tend website in the first instance or via email to the address contained within this notice.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice.
