Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board sought a provider for general practice primary care medical services under a General Medical Services or Alternative Provider of Medical Services contract. The requirement was to run Meddygfa’r Sarn, an EMIS Web practice serving around 4,300 patients from premises in Pontyates. The practice is part of the Amman Gwendraeth Cluster; nearby hospitals are Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and Glangwili General Hospital in Carmarthen.

The procurement was unsuccessful and the lot was cancelled; no supplier was awarded the contract. The tender used an open procedure, with price as the stated award criterion. Bids were due by 7 September 2026, and bid opening was scheduled for 8 September 2026. The proposed contract period was 3,600 days, with the aim of returning the practice to independent contractor status from 1 April 2027. The procurement was governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025.

This requirement indicates demand for an established primary care partnership able to deliver general medical services to a community practice of around 4,300 patients. Relevant experience would include operating an EMIS Web practice and managing the clinical and operational responsibilities of either a General Medical Services or Alternative Provider of Medical Services contract. A credible provider would need the workforce and organisational capacity to serve patients in Pontyates and contribute to the Amman Gwendraeth Cluster. The stated evaluation basis was price, so a competitive future provider would also need to offer a financially viable service model.
