Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned locally commissioned general practitioner services for Steel City, delivered in Sheffield. The service is intended to enhance and operate alongside the GP Framework rather than as a standalone service, with interdependencies between the two arrangements. It is an established service delivered by an existing provider group. The requirement covers primary care activity supplied by GP practices meeting the contract and service specification criteria. The buying organisation is NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The selected supplier is Steel City General Practice, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The relevant classification is general-practitioner services (CPV 85121100).

The procurement has been awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using direct award process A without a prior call for competition. Steel City General Practice was selected for the Sheffield service. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Payment is activity-based at local prices; the published contract value is £1, while the overall service value is described as unknown. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with quality weighted at 100% and cost at 0%. The arrangement has no stated extension options. The procurement record describes the requirement as an existing service with an existing provider.

This award indicates demand from NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board for GP practices able to deliver locally commissioned primary care services alongside a GP Framework contract. A credible future competitor would need to be an established general-practice provider, able to meet the relevant contract and service specification and operate the locally commissioned services as an integrated enhancement to GP Framework provision. The requirement is therefore suited to practices with the governance, clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver activity-based primary care services in Sheffield, rather than providers offering a standalone service disconnected from the framework. Quality is decisive in the recorded evaluation, so providers should be able to demonstrate strong service quality and reliable delivery against the specification. Steel City General Practice’s selection also shows that an SME-sized practice can meet this type of requirement.

Notice Description

GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract Award has been made following direct award process A of 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, therefore the overall contract value is unknown.

The contract will be from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027

This is an existing service with an existing provider.
