## Summary

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned general-practitioner services through a GP Locally Commissioned Services contract for Veritas Health Centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The service is designed to enhance and operate alongside the GP Framework contract rather than as a standalone service. It covers existing locally commissioned primary-care activity delivered by GP providers at Veritas Health Centre. The contracting authority is the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The selected provider is Veritas Health Centre, also based in Sheffield and classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to GP practices and primary-care organisations able to deliver locally commissioned services as part of, or alongside, the relevant GP Framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Veritas Health Centre on 1 April 2026 under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. It used Direct Award Process A, described as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, for an existing group of providers. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is activity-based and paid at local prices; the published contract value is £1, although the overall value is described as unknown. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with the criterion that there was no realistic alternative provider; price carried no weight. The award decision was made by the Portfolio Lead – Transformation & Delivery (Contracting).

This award indicates demand for GP-led locally commissioned services that are integrated with an existing GP Framework contract. A credible competing provider would need to be an established GP practice or primary-care organisation able to hold the relevant framework contract and deliver the locally commissioned services alongside it. The requirement depends on operational interdependency between the framework and enhanced services, so bidders would need suitable clinical governance, staffing, premises and systems already capable of supporting routine general-practice delivery in Sheffield. The evaluation placed all weight on service quality and on whether there was a realistic alternative provider, making continuity, clinical capability, local delivery capacity and a strong understanding of the specification more important than a low price. Payment is linked to activity at locally set prices.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract Award has been made following direct award process A of the Provider Selection Regime. 

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. 

The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices, therefore the overall contract value is unknown. 

The contract will be from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027 

This is an existing service with an existing provider.
