## Summary

NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board commissioned locally commissioned GP services from Forge Health Group. The requirement is a general-practitioner service designed to enhance and operate alongside the provider’s existing GP Framework contract, rather than as a standalone service. Delivery is in Sheffield. The service is an established local healthcare arrangement for patients and is linked to the wider GP Framework provision. The buyer is the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, based in Sheffield. The selected provider is Forge Health Group, an SME operating from Sheffield. The requirement therefore suits GP practices or healthcare provider groups able to deliver locally commissioned primary care services as part of, or alongside, an appropriate GP Framework arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board selected Forge Health Group through direct award procedure A under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, without a prior call for competition. The award decision was made on 1 April 2026, when the contract was signed. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is recorded as £1, although the service description says payment is activity-based at local prices and the overall value is unknown. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, with quality weighted at 100% and cost at 0%. The requirement is recorded as a cancelled lot, while the associated award and contract are active.

This award shows that the buyer uses a direct Provider Selection Regime route for an established GP service that is dependent on an existing GP Framework contract. A credible future competitor would therefore need to be an existing GP provider or provider group with the framework relationship, clinical capacity and governance arrangements to deliver locally commissioned services alongside core GP provision. The requirement is activity-based, so suppliers would need operational systems for managing variable patient activity, local pricing and service reporting rather than relying on a fixed-volume delivery model. The emphasis on quality means bidders should be able to demonstrate strong clinical standards, safe patient pathways, reliable staffing and effective performance management. Local delivery capability in Sheffield is also commercially relevant.

## Notice

GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract.

### 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.

### Procurement Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award. The contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt. the provisions of the Procurement Act Regulations 2023 do not apply.

The decision to award was made by the Decision made by the Portfolio Lead - Transformation & Delivery (Contracting). No conflicts of interest were identified.
