NHS South Yorkshire ICB - GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract - Walkley House Medical Centre

NHS South Yorkshire ICB has awarded the GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract for Walkley House Medical Centre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. This contract falls under the Health care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically excluding the Procurement Act 2023 Regulations. The decision was made by the Sheffield Senior Management and Leadership Teams in July 2024, with the contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

The procurement process used was the limited method, a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, as no realistic alternative provider was available for these services within the interdependent GP Framework. This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, primarily benefiting existing service providers within the GP Framework due to its specificity. The contract favours businesses with a background in delivering general practitioner services, particularly those that align with the local healthcare specifications.

Although the primary provider group is established, additional providers can potentially participate if they satisfy the contract and specification criteria. This creates a conducive environment for enhancing activity-based income within the healthcare sector in the South Yorkshire region.
