Summary of the contracting process

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned locally commissioned GP services for The Hollies Medical Centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The service is classified as general-practitioner services and is intended to enhance, rather than operate separately from, the provider’s GP Framework contract. Delivery is therefore linked to an existing GP service and its associated framework arrangements. The buyer is the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The contracted provider is The Hollies Medical Centre, also in Sheffield, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement concerns healthcare services delivered alongside the provider’s existing GP Framework responsibilities, rather than a standalone service. The arrangement is activity-based and uses local prices for payment.

The procurement has been awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using Direct Award Process A and a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The award decision was made by the Portfolio Lead – Transformation & Delivery (Contracting). The contract was awarded to The Hollies Medical Centre and is active; it was signed on 1 April 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published contract value is £1 GBP, while the overall value is stated to be unknown because payment is based on activity at local prices. Evaluation was based entirely on quality: no realistic alternative provider scored 100, and price scored 0. One bid was recorded. The lot is marked cancelled despite the active award.

This requirement is most relevant to established GP providers that already hold, or can work through, the relevant GP Framework arrangements and can deliver locally commissioned services alongside them. The buyer’s stated rationale is that the service depends on the interrelationship between the framework contract and the locally commissioned service, so a standalone healthcare provider without that operational link would be poorly placed. A credible competitor would need to provide general-practitioner services in Sheffield, meet the applicable contract and service-specification requirements, and demonstrate continuity with an existing provider group. The award also shows that the buyer treated quality and the absence of a realistic alternative provider as decisive, while price was not part of the assessment. Experience integrating supplementary GP services with core framework provision would therefore be important.

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.
