Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request for Information

We are pleased to respond to your request for information and our response is set out below:

Request/ Response

My request for Information is in general about the NHS Sheffield CCG contracting the One Health group.

I request the following information: 

• Current contract(s) between the NHS Sheffield CCG with the One Health group.

NHS Sheffield CCG is the lead commissioner of the AQP on the NHS Contract with One Health Group Ltd. 

• In case pricing or parts of the contracts are excluded, I would like to receive the remaining content of the contract(s).

The contract we use with One Health Group is the Standard NHS Contract which can be found on the NHSE website (https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-standard-contract/). We also hold an MSK contract with Sheffield Teaching Hospital who sub-contracts a portion of this work to One Health Group. This is again using a NHS Standard Contract.

• Was the initial contract between the NHS Sheffield CCG with the One Health group part of/result of a tender? If so: What was the subject of this tender and when did it take place?

This One Health Group contract was initially held by the national NHS Commissioning body and then via a national process moved to local commissioners. This took place over 15 years ago.

• Were contracts in the past awarded to the One Health group without a tender by the NHS Sheffield CCG?

See process described above.

• How many patients are referred to the One Health Group by e-RS and how many are referred by other means? Please indicate medical speciality.

100% of patients are referred by e-RS.

• Did the NHS Sheffield CCG sponsor the One Health Group at any stage?

No.
