Summary of the contracting process

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust procured GP insourcing support for the UTC and A&E minors service at Wythenshawe. The requirement is a health service, covering the provision of general practitioner capacity within an urgent treatment centre and the minor injuries or minor illness area of an accident and emergency service. The procurement was for a single requirement rather than a group of separately described services. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving the Wythenshawe site, and the named service location is Wythenshawe. The scope is described as GP support through insourcing, indicating that the successful provider supplies clinical capacity to support the existing urgent and emergency care operation.

The procurement has been awarded: Mastercall Ltd was selected and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026. The procedure was a limited direct award without prior publication of a competition notice, using Direct Award C under the Provider Selection Regime. The stated rationale was that the service repeats existing services and met the relevant Direct Award C conditions. One bid was recorded, with both the lowest and highest valid bid values recorded as £1,300,000. Price was the award criterion. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the related award and contract are active.

This award shows demand from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust for outsourced GP capacity supporting urgent treatment and A&E minors at Wythenshawe. A credible future competitor would need to provide qualified GPs who can work effectively in an urgent and emergency care setting, support patient flow and clinical decision-making, and integrate with the trust’s existing services and procedures. The requirement favours providers able to mobilise a dependable clinical team and maintain consistent cover for a hospital-based service, rather than suppliers offering general practice alone. Relevant experience of GP insourcing, urgent treatment centres, minor illness or minor injury services, and NHS clinical governance would strengthen a competing proposition. Commercial competitiveness on price was decisive in this procurement.
