Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Manchester has arranged Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) for four Oldham practices: Village Medical Practice, Hill Top Surgery, Hollinwood Medical Practice and John Street Medical Practice. The services provide accessible, high-quality community healthcare, including GP appointments, medical advice, treatment and ongoing support, with care tailored to local needs. The stated aims include improving access and patient experience and reducing health inequalities. This is primary care service delivery rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work. The contracts cover the four named practices in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

The process has reached the award stage: NHS Greater Manchester selected Hope Citadel Healthcare CIC, the incumbent provider, for all four practice contracts. The contracts were signed on 16 September 2026. Their stated term runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2032, comprising an initial five years with a possible further 12-month extension at the authority’s discretion, subject to satisfactory contractual and financial performance. The individual contract values are £3,918,654.72 for Village Medical Practice, £5,156,979.12 for Hill Top Surgery, £6,806,195.28 for Hollinwood Medical Practice and £3,403,984 for John Street Medical Practice. NHS Greater Manchester used the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C. Its assessment considered whether the existing provider was meeting the original contract and could meet the proposed contract to a sufficient standard, including quality and cost.

This award shows demand from NHS Greater Manchester for continued GP and community healthcare provision across four Oldham practices, delivered by an established provider under APMS contracts. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capacity and operational capability to maintain accessible services, provide timely appointments, advice and treatment, and tailor care to local population needs. The authority’s stated assessment emphasised reliable performance against the existing contract and confidence in delivering the replacement service. It also highlighted quality of care, addressing inequalities in services, access and outcomes, fair treatment of patients and staff, and continued improvement in social value and environmental performance. Providers with demonstrable experience delivering primary care at multiple local practices and evidence against these service and performance priorities would be best aligned.
