## Summary

Plymouth City Council commissioned general-practice public health services under a locally enhanced service arrangement, delivered in Plymouth. The work covers seven service areas: smoking cessation; prescribing smoking-cessation medicines; chlamydia screening; insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices for contraceptive and non-contraceptive purposes; substance-use services; NHS Health Checks; and subdermal implant services. The arrangement is intended for GP practices, with all GP practices in Plymouth able to undertake activity and receive payment. It is an activity-based primary healthcare service, rather than a conventional supply contract, and services are delivered through local general practices. The classification is general-practitioner services (CPV 85121100).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process B, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The seven lots are recorded as cancelled, but 21 awards and 21 active contracts are recorded. The named awarded practices are Adelaide Surgery, Beacon Medical Group, Church View Surgery, Dean Cross Surgery, Devonport Health Centre, Dewerstone Medical Group, Elm Surgery, Friary House Surgery, Lisson Grove and Woolwell Med Centre, Mayflower Medical Group, North Rd West Med Centre, Pathfields Medical Group, Peverell Park Surgery, Roborough Surgery, Southway Surgery, St Levan Surgery, St Neots Surgery, Stoke Surgery, West Hoe Surgery, Wycliffe Surgery and Knowle House Surgery. Each contract is valued at £0.01, with activity-based payments and no guaranteed value, and was signed on 1 April 2026. The anticipated period is two years to 31 March 2028, with one possible further year to 31 March 2029. Twenty-one bids were recorded for each lot.

This procurement shows demand from Plymouth City Council for GP-led public health delivery across prevention, sexual health, contraception, substance use and routine health checks. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established general-practice setting in Plymouth, clinicians able to deliver the relevant services, and the capacity to record and complete activity reliably for payment. Depending on the service area, relevant capability would include smoking-cessation support and prescribing, chlamydia testing, intrauterine-device procedures, subdermal implant procedures, substance-use interventions and NHS Health Checks. The awarded supplier group demonstrates that the buyer uses multiple local practices rather than a single provider. Existing GP practices or medical groups with suitable clinical governance, trained staff, patient access and experience delivering NHS or public-health activity would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
