Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned Gateway Primary Care to provide locally enhanced services for the Rotherham population. The requirement is for general-practitioner services supporting and enhancing the existing GP Framework contract, rather than a stand-alone service. Delivery is in Rotherham. The services are commissioned for local patients and are linked to the GP services already provided by the selected provider group. The buyer is a health-sector public body based in Sheffield, while the appointed supplier, Gateway Primary Care, is based in Rotherham and is classified as an SME. The requirement therefore suits GP practices, primary care providers and organisations able to operate within an established NHS GP Framework and deliver locally commissioned enhanced services alongside core provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gateway Primary Care under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a direct award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Payment is activity-based, using local prices and the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme; the procurement description says the overall contract value is unknown, while the contract record records a value of £1. The evaluation basis was 100% quality and 0% cost. The award is active, although the associated lot is marked cancelled. One bid was recorded. The arrangement is for an existing provider group and requires interdependent GP Framework provision.

This award indicates demand for primary care providers able to deliver locally enhanced NHS services as an extension of an existing GP Framework contract. A credible future competitor would need the operational capability to provide general-practitioner services for the Rotherham population, meet the relevant service specification and contract criteria, and work within the interdependencies between core GP Framework services and enhanced services. The selected provider is an SME, showing that delivery is not necessarily limited to a large corporate organisation. Strong quality performance is central: quality accounted for the entire evaluation, with cost carrying no weighting. Providers should therefore be able to evidence dependable clinical delivery, appropriate capacity for activity-based services, and familiarity with NHS payment arrangements and local primary care commissioning.

Notice Title

Gateway Primary Care - GP Local Enhanced Services 2026/27

Notice Description

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham<br/>population.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The provider is commissioned to deliver locally enhanced services for the Rotherham
population. This contract Award has been made following direct award process B under the
Provider Selection Regime.
These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not
restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the
contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be
delivered by this group of providers (GP) is because they are required to hold a contract via
the GP Framework and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to
enhance the GP Framework contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency
between the two services is paramount.

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices. The contract award is from
01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027. This is an existing service from an existing provider. Additional information: The contract value is unknown. The provider is paid in line with the relevant unit prices for the activity delivered in accordance with the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme.
