Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board procured general practitioner services through a locally commissioned services contract for Handsworth Medical Practice. The service is intended to enhance and operate alongside the existing GP Framework contract rather than as a standalone service, with delivery in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It is an NHS primary care requirement managed by the Integrated Care Board. The scope is described as GP Locally Commissioned Services, providing services commissioned locally from GP providers. The requirement relates to an established service and is linked to the GP Framework arrangements, so suppliers would need to understand how locally commissioned services integrate with existing primary care provision and NHS contracting requirements. The selected provider is Handsworth Medical Practice, a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Handsworth Medical Practice. It used the Provider Selection Regime 2023 and a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award followed Direct Award Process A, on the basis that there was no realistic alternative provider; quality carried 100% of the evaluation and price 0%. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Payment is activity-based at local prices, so the overall contract value is stated as unknown. The recorded contract value is £1, while the award information gives no substantive total value. One bid was recorded. The procurement record also marks the lot as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award indicates demand from NHS South Yorkshire for GP-led locally commissioned services that operate alongside its GP Framework. A credible future competitor would need to be an established GP provider able to hold, or work within, the relevant GP Framework contract and deliver the locally commissioned services as an integrated enhancement rather than independently. The buyer's evaluation placed all weight on quality and on the absence of a realistic alternative provider, with no price weighting, so evidence of service quality, clinical capability and dependable delivery would be central. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to provide activity-based services in Sheffield, understand local NHS primary care requirements and price their activity in line with local arrangements. Existing GP service delivery experience would be directly relevant.

Notice Description

GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract.

Lot Information

Lot 1

GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract. Additional information: 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.
