## Summary

The procurement process for providing Primary Medical Services in the new town of Sherford, located in Plymouth and South Hams, was initiated by the South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the NHS. The contract has an estimated value of £819,700 and was awarded to Beacon Medical Group, effective from 1st April 2021 until 31st March 2026. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tender is classified under general-practitioner services (CPV code: 85121100). The contract aims to ensure sustainable GP facilities for the growing community as it develops over two decades, with an immediate need demonstrated by the population influx in Sherford. The tender deadline ended on 1st December 2020.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in GP services, health management, and community health initiatives. Companies with the capacity to provide sustainable healthcare solutions and collaborate effectively with public health authorities will be well-suited to compete in this environment. As the new town develops, other related services may also arise, creating avenues for business growth and partnership in the healthcare landscape of Sherford.

## Notice

Sherford is a new town under construction in Devon, England. Part of the land for development lies within Plymouth and the rest within the South Hams district. In total, the new town is expected to create 7000 new jobs. Once completed, it is expected to have 5,500 dwellings built over the period of 20 years. There was an immediate need to provide General Practice (GP) facilities to the population of Sherford. GP provision needed to be sustainable and long-term, to grow as Sherford grows. The provider, under an existing General Medical Services/Personal Medical Services (GMS/PMS) contract will need to work with the developers, councils, NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and community services to help shape primary medical services in line with the NHS Long-Term Plan and NHS Devon's Primary Care Strategy. The contract has been awarded to Beacon Medical Group following their submission to the Invitation to Tender published on 10/11/2020. This procurement was being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
