## Summary

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract to Forge Health Group for the provision of General-practitioner services under the GP Locally Commissioned Services (LCS) Contract in Sheffield. This contract was assigned through a Direct Award process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and it falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process was limited and did not involve a call for competition. The contract spans from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025, with the overall value dependent on patient activity as specified by the nationally mandated NHS Payment Scheme. The confirmation of the contract award was made by the Portfolio Lead – Transformation & Delivery (Contracting) in April 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in healthcare services, particularly those with skills in delivering locally enhanced general-practitioner services within the GP Framework. As the contract is dependent on patient choice and activity, businesses can grow by enhancing service delivery and increasing patient satisfaction. Companies able to meet the strict contractual and specification criteria may find lucrative opportunities in this sector given the structured framework of the LCS and its alignment with the national NHS objectives. The procurement's limited method highlights the potential for high-quality and specialised service providers to thrive.

## Notice

The provider is commissioner to deliver locally enhanced services for the Sheffield population. CPV 85121100-4 General-practitioner services.

These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (GP) is because they are required to hold a contract via the GP Framework and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the GP Framework contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount.
