NHS SY ICB - GP Locally Commissioned Services Contract - Monk Bretton Health Centre

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of GP Locally Commissioned Services at Monk Bretton Health Centre in Barnsley. This contract was awarded as part of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and falls outside the scope of the Procurement Act 2023. The industry category for this procurement is general-practitioner services within the healthcare sector, specifically aimed at delivering enhanced services integrated with primary care for the Barnsley population.

The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2025 and end on 31st March 2026, following a direct award process without prior publication of a call for competition. This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for service providers specialising in healthcare, particularly those capable of delivering locally enhanced services alongside primary care contracts. Businesses such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector, and practices that are adept at managing patient activity-based contracts, would find this opportunity particularly attractive.

The procurement process and regulations adopted, including the PSR model, highlight an avenue for healthcare providers to engage in integrated care systems without the competitive constraints of broader procurement regulations.
