Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust commissioned enhanced primary care GP support services. The work is health service provision, intended to support the Trust’s enhanced primary care services. Delivery is in the Stoke-on-Trent area. The named provider is North Staffordshire GP Federation Limited, a local GP federation. The requirement is for clinical GP support rather than goods or construction, and is tied to the Trust’s primary care service provision.

The procurement has been formally awarded to North Staffordshire GP Federation Limited through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The award date was 30 September 2026. The contract value, excluding extension options, is £803,497.50. Services are scheduled from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by up to two months, to 31 May 2027. The Trust assessed the proposed provider against quality and innovation (45%), value (25%), integration, collaboration and service sustainability (10%), improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (10%), and social value (10%). The Trust’s decision relied on its assessment that the existing provider was performing satisfactorily and likely to meet the proposed contract standard.

For GP federations and primary care providers, this award demonstrates demand from the Trust for enhanced primary care GP support in Stoke-on-Trent, delivered through a direct award to an existing provider under the Provider Selection Regime. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show a strong record of delivering reliable GP support and evidence of service quality and innovation. The evaluation also indicates that providers should be able to demonstrate value, effective integration and collaboration with local health services, and sustainable delivery. Evidence of improving patient access, reducing health inequalities, facilitating choice and generating social value would also be relevant. Providers should be able to support the Trust’s requirements to a sufficient standard and demonstrate satisfactory performance in comparable service delivery.
