NHS South Yorkshire ICB is commissioning Royston Group Practice to deliver locally enhanced services (LES) to the Barnsley population during 2026-27. This is a renewal of an existing contract with the current provider, paid using a mixed payment model (some services paid as a fixed block, others based on activity/usage).
Requirements
- Must be an approved primary care provider capable of delivering locally enhanced services
- Must integrate service delivery with existing primary care contracts held by the provider
- Must serve the Barnsley population
- Must operate under NHS payment terms (mixed block and activity-based payments)
- Must comply with NHS South Yorkshire ICB commissioning standards
- No specific certifications or qualifications listed in the notice — check full tender documents for clinical governance, CQC registration, or other NHS mandatory requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver locally enhanced services (LES) tailored to Barnsley population needs
- Integrate LES delivery with the provider's existing primary care contracts
- Accept mixed-mode payment: some services as fixed block payments, others reimbursed based on activity/activity levels
- Operate from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 (12-month contract period)
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a direct award to an existing provider — if you're not the current provider, you'll likely need to challenge this or wait for future open tenders. Direct award Process B has specific justification criteria; ask why this wasn't openly competed.
- 2'Locally Enhanced Services' (LES) are GP-led services that go beyond the standard NHS contract — the full tender will specify which services (e.g. extended hours, minor surgery, sexual health screening). Get clarity on exactly which LES you're expected to deliver.
- 3Mixed payment model means you won't get a single contract value. Some services are paid monthly as a fixed amount (block); others depend on how many patients use them (activity). You need the detailed payment schedule and activity assumptions to forecast your income.
- 4This renewal contract runs 1 April to 31 March — check if there are options to extend beyond 2027, as a single-year commitment may not cover setup costs.
- 5As the notice says 'existing contract with existing provider,' if you're a new applicant, focus on whether there are any open procurement windows or consortia opportunities rather than bidding directly here.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're already the provider: request the activity baseline data and payment rates for each LES from the previous 12 months so you can forecast cash flow accurately. Mixed payment models often surprise providers with lower-than-expected activity reimbursement.
- If you're a new provider: consider whether you can subcontract LES delivery to the existing provider or form a consortium. Many GP practices subcontract specialist LES elements (e.g. minor surgery, sexual health) to avoid building new capacity yourself.
- Check the tender documents for social value scoring and contract management KPIs. NHS South Yorkshire ICB will likely score on equity of access, patient outcomes, and integration with wider Barnsley health services — highlight any existing relationships with local community services or vulnerable population programs.
