Church Lane Surgery

NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board intends to utilise the Most Suitable Provider Process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 to identify a provider for the delivery of a General Medical Services (GMS) contract for Church Lane Surgery, Church Lane, New Romney, Kent, TN28 8ER. The service requires uninterrupted provision of essential primary medical services from 1 December 2026. Providers must be legally eligible to hold a GMS contract and demonstrate the ability to assume full operational responsibility, including workforce, governance, digital and premises readiness, from the required commencement date whilst maintaining continuity, quality and patient access.

The estimated annual recurrent baseline value of the service is approximately £1,006,315 per annum. This figure is provided for transparency and planning purposes only and does not represent a fixed annual contract value or a guaranteed level of income. Actual payments will be determined in accordance with the General Medical Services contract, applicable national payment arrangements and the registered and weighted patient list.

The estimated total value of £5,031,575 has been calculated using the current estimated annual recurrent baseline value multiplied by an assumed 5-year period for transparency purposes. The proposed GMS contract does not have a fixed contract term and the value stated does not represent a guaranteed contract value or contract duration.

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
