Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board required general practitioner clinical cover during Protected Time for Learning sessions across its Primary Care Clusters. The service provides GP cover so that learning sessions can take place while primary care practices maintain clinical provision. The work is based across the Health Board’s cluster network in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg area of Wales. The purchasing organisation is Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. The requirement is for GP clinical services rather than goods or construction, with delivery tied to primary care settings and the Health Board’s learning-time arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Principle Medical Group Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is active, with a value of £199,584. The Health Board used the Provider Selection Regime (PSR Wales), Direct Award Process 2, without a prior call for competition, intending to award to the incumbent provider. The process considered the applicable key criteria and basic selection criteria. Evaluation weighting was 20% each for quality, collaboration and service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, social responsibility, and price. The procurement was recorded as one lot, subsequently marked cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active.

For a future requirement from this Health Board, a credible provider would need to deliver reliable GP clinical cover across multiple Primary Care Clusters and fit the practical demands of Protected Time for Learning sessions. The published evaluation shows that clinical quality and price matter, but together account for only two-fifths of the assessment. Equal weight was also placed on collaboration and service sustainability, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social responsibility. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate effective partnership working, continuity of service and a clear contribution to accessible primary care, alongside the capacity to provide GP cover across the cluster network. The award to an SME indicates that this scale of requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier, rather than necessarily requiring a large national provider.
