NHS South Yorkshire ICB - GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract - Upwell Street Surgery

The contracting process involves the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) awarding a contract for GP Locally Commissioned Services at Upwell Street Surgery in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. This award was made under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and falls outside the scope of typical procurement regulations. The procurement was initiated through a direct award process, with no prior call for competition, and the contract spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.

As part of the healthcare sector, specifically general-practitioner services, this contract award represents the completion of the procurement stage and was confirmed in May 2025. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth in the healthcare sector, particularly for SMEs specialising in GP services, as it involves locally commissioned services designed to enhance existing GP Framework contracts. Businesses that can meet the specified criteria and intend to function within Sheffield's healthcare framework could leverage this contract to expand service delivery and consolidate their presence in the region.

However, the specific nature of this contract means that it is primarily suited to organisations already operating within the GP community due to the interconnected requirements between the GP Framework and the Locally Commissioned Services. The competitive landscape is limited due to the specialised nature of services and the absence of alternative providers under the current specifications.
