NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is directly awarding a contract to Ecclesfield Group Practice to deliver enhanced GP services (beyond standard NHS services) to patients in Sheffield. The contract runs for one year from April 2026 to March 2027, and the payment is based on how many patients use the services, so the exact value isn't fixed in advance.
Requirements
- Must be registered as a GP practice or healthcare provider capable of delivering general practitioner services
- Must be able to deliver locally enhanced services (additional services beyond standard GP provision)
- Must serve the Sheffield population
- Must comply with NHS standards and regulations
- No competitive tender required — this is a direct award, so the practice must already have an established relationship or agreement with NHS South Yorkshire ICB
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver enhanced GP services to Sheffield patients (specific enhanced services to be defined in full contract documents)
- Manage patient activity and record service usage for billing purposes
- Maintain service provision throughout the 12-month contract period (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027)
- Report on activity metrics to support the variable payment calculation
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a direct award, not an open tender — it's being given to Ecclesfield Group Practice specifically, so if you're not that practice, this won't apply to you. However, check if you could partner with them as a subcontractor.
- 2The contract value is 'activity-based' — this means payment depends on patient numbers and usage, not a fixed fee. Review the full tender documents to understand the payment formula and activity assumptions.
- 3CPV code 85121100-4 refers to general practitioner services — this is healthcare delivery, so you'll need relevant NHS compliance, staff qualifications, and likely CQC registration.
- 4Look in the full tender documents for details on 'locally enhanced services' — these are specific optional services that GP practices can offer (examples might include extended hours, contraception clinics, or minor surgery), and you need to know exactly which ones this contract covers.
- 5The short contract period (one year only) suggests this may be a pilot or interim arrangement — check if there's an option to extend or renew, as this affects your planning and staffing costs.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a smaller GP practice or healthcare provider, explore whether you could subcontract elements of this service (e.g., nurse-led clinics, administration, or specific enhanced services) to the lead provider.
- With activity-based payment, focus on the financial forecast in the tender documents — understand the assumed patient numbers and what happens if activity is higher or lower than predicted. Build a cash flow plan that accounts for variable income.
- Check the full contract for social value requirements (e.g., training local staff, supporting health inequalities in Sheffield). Even though this is a direct award, demonstrating social value can strengthen any future relationship or renewal negotiations.
