Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned a GP locally commissioned services contract for Dovercourt Medical Centre. The work is general-practitioner healthcare services (CPV 85121100), delivered in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The service is intended to enhance and operate alongside the existing GP Framework contract rather than as a standalone service, with the two arrangements interdependent. The buyer is the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The awarded supplier is Dovercourt Group Practice, also based in Sheffield. The requirement concerns an established primary care service delivered by a GP provider, supporting locally commissioned services associated with the medical centre and its existing framework arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using direct award procedure A without a prior competition. The award decision was made by the Portfolio Lead – Transformation & Delivery (Contracting), with no conflicts of interest identified. Dovercourt Group Practice received the active award. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its recorded value is £1 GBP; the procurement information states that the provider is paid according to activity at local prices, so the overall contract value is unknown. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with the stated criterion being no realistic alternative provider; price carried zero weighting.

This award shows that NHS South Yorkshire ICB uses the Provider Selection Regime to secure established GP-led locally commissioned services linked to its GP Framework. A credible future competitor would need to be an operational general-practice provider able to deliver the relevant locally commissioned services alongside a GP Framework contract, rather than offering the service independently. The requirement favours providers with an existing relationship, the clinical capacity to maintain an established service and the systems needed to deliver activity-based primary care at local prices. Experience operating from or serving a Sheffield practice would be directly relevant. The evaluation outcome also indicates that demonstrating the absence of a realistic alternative provider and continuity of the integrated GP service are more important here than submitting the lowest price.

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.
