## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has completed a direct award of a contract to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for providing emergency, secondary care, acute, and community health services in Sheffield. This contract, which is valued at £3,492,760,000, was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the procurement stage is now in the 'Award' phase. The contract will run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2029, with services delivered within Sheffield, classified under the industry category 'Health services' (CPV: 85100000). The procurement method was a 'limited' award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the lack of alternative providers with the necessary infrastructure to deliver the required services at scale.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in supporting health care services, particularly those that can supply goods and services on a large scale or innovate in health care delivery. Companies with expertise in health service infrastructure, staffing solutions, and specialised medical services would be well-positioned to benefit. The collaboration with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals aims to maximise economies of scale, enhance patient care, and foster innovations aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan, making this an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to contribute to robust, integrated health care solutions.

## Notice

This contract as a whole is considered to fall within the scope of direct award process A on the basis that the NHS providers delivers our primary NHS provider contract for emergency and secondary care (acute and community) services in Sheffield. The Statutory Guidance support us take a realistic view of whether any other providers could actually deliver the contract. Realistically there are no other providers with the established infrastructure (both staffing, estates and NHS experience) to deliver the combination of services under these contracts to the scale which our local NHS providers deliver. This contract is based on all services being delivered under them considered as a package, as any attempt to split services off to commission differently would risk destabilisation of the rest of contract and the amount of resource required to undertake this task would be disproportionate the benefits received for our population. In addition, breaking these services down would risk losing the benefits of interdependence between the services (including services commissioned from these NHS providers which fall within the scope of specialised commissioning) which enables staffing resource to be flexed to meet pressures (e.g. treat complex long waiters), supports patient experience as flows between services are more fluid and issues can be easily resolved, encourages value for money by maximising economies of scale across services (e.g. when buying goods and services, using estates) and maximises innovation by encouraging service collaboration to support the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan and other strategic requirements.
