Known operator profiles

GTD Healthcare

  • Kind: anchor_operator
  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 14
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Main anchor operator for this project: a not-for-profit, social-enterprise-style provider with GP practices, urgent care, central triage/co-ordination functions, and wider commissioned services.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Publicly presented as a not-for-profit, values-led organisation with a social enterprise ethos; Our People's Trust is presented as the single shareholder.
  • Relationship to GTD: Anchor entry.
  • Why it matters: This is the provider running New Bank and the main reference point for the org navigator, competitor comparison and pressure mapping work.
  • Note: The repo-local inquiry and operating-environment notes show GTD as more than a surgery chain: it also has a 24/7 clinical/co-ordination layer, referral triage functions and rapid-mobilisation work.
  • Note: The same notes also place GTD inside GMUPCA and wider regional procurement / risk-bearing patterns.

GoToDoc Limited

  • Kind: provider_shell
  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Registered-provider shell used in the public record for GTD-run services even where procurement documents name GTD Healthcare Ltd as contract holder.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Active company / provider shell visible in Companies House and CQC records.
  • Relationship to GTD: Corporate delivery entity / registered-provider layer inside the GTD structure.
  • Why it matters: The New Bank trail repeatedly splits contract award, CQC registration and corporate identity across GTD Healthcare Ltd and GoToDoc Ltd.
  • Note: This is part of why 'who won the contract?' and 'who runs the service?' are not always answered by the same legal entity in public records.

Better Health Manchester

  • Kind: previous_operator
  • Source strength: repo_local_context_only
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Previous operator context for New Bank before the April 2025 move to GTD.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Previous provider context in repo-local handover notes; external profile is not yet fully curated in this folder.
  • Relationship to GTD: Outgoing provider at New Bank.
  • Why it matters: The org navigator will need to show that New Bank's current issues sit inside a longer operator history rather than starting from zero on 1 April 2025.
  • Note: Useful mainly as handover context and for separating pre-GTD from post-GTD evidence.

Northern Health GPPO Limited

  • Kind: federation_provider_peer
  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 4
  • Summary: North Manchester GP federation and not-for-profit membership organisation that appears both as a federation layer and as a real peer / tender actor.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Not-for-profit GP federation / membership organisation.
  • Relationship to GTD: Competitor in Manchester APMS / SAS contexts; collaborator-adjacent in the wider Manchester provider ecosystem.
  • Why it matters: It won Victoria Mill in the Manchester APMS round and later took over Manchester SAS work from GTD.
  • Note: In the current dataset it appears as an affiliated group rather than a direct management-company match.
  • Note: This is one of the clearest examples of a body that is not just 'near GTD' but is an actual substitute / alternative operator in some commissioner decisions.

Affiliated-group examples in current dataset:

  • P84004 - Five Oaks Family Practice (M11 3BB) via affiliated_group_name
  • P84673 - Ancoats Urban Village Medical Practice (M4 6EE) via affiliated_group_name

  • Summary: Central Manchester GP-practice company/federation layer that sits underneath Manchester Primary Care Partnership.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Company of Central Manchester GP practices / shareholder-style federation structure.
  • Relationship to GTD: Part of the same city-scale provider environment rather than a simple one-to-one competitor.
  • Why it matters: It helps explain how Manchester's provider world is built from practice-backed federations and scale vehicles rather than only direct operator chains.
  • Note: In the current dataset it appears as an affiliated group rather than a direct management-company label.

Affiliated-group examples in current dataset:

  • P84009 - Ailsa Craig Medical Centre (M13 0YL) via affiliated_group_name

  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 4
  • Summary: South Manchester membership/shareholder federation with visible service-delivery activity as well as representative/federation functions.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Membership organisation where South Manchester practices are shareholders.
  • Relationship to GTD: Peer federation / potential collaborator-competitor inside the same Manchester provider landscape.
  • Why it matters: It is one of the three federations behind Manchester Primary Care Partnership and appears in the dataset as an affiliated-group signal.

Affiliated-group examples in current dataset:

  • P84034 - Barlow Medical Centre (M20 2RN) via affiliated_group_name
  • P84043 - Cornishway Group Practice (M22 5RX) via affiliated_group_name

Manchester Primary Care Partnership

  • Kind: city_scale_vehicle
  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Manchester-wide not-for-profit provider vehicle owned by the three Manchester GP federations.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Not-for-profit scale/service-delivery vehicle.
  • Relationship to GTD: Not a direct GTD subsidiary or direct rival in a simple sense; part of the city-scale structure around Manchester primary care.
  • Why it matters: Important for the org navigator because it shows how city-wide service capacity and contract capability can sit above federation level.

Salford Primary Care Together

  • Legal / organisational shape: Community Interest Company / membership organisation / service provider.
  • Relationship to GTD: Peer urgent/community/primary-care operator and GMUPCA partner.
  • Why it matters: One of the clearest non-GTD peers that crosses from organisational-shape notes into current-dataset management-company matches.

Direct management-company examples in current dataset:

  • Y00445002 - Salford Primary Care Together - Little Hulton (M28 0AY) via management_company_name
  • Y00445 - Salford Primary Care Together (M28 0BB) via management_company_name

  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0

  • Legal / organisational shape: Publicly described as a social enterprise; public material also describes it as a company limited by guarantee.
  • Relationship to GTD: Urgent/community care peer and GMUPCA partner.
  • Why it matters: Useful for showing that GTD sits among other risk-bearing, not-for-profit / social-enterprise operators rather than only against classic private chains.

  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0

  • Legal / organisational shape: Community Benefit Society / not-for-profit social enterprise.
  • Relationship to GTD: Peer urgent/community care operator and GMUPCA partner.
  • Why it matters: Another important comparator for the 'industry shape' page because it shows the same non-profit/community-benefit layer that sits around GTD.

  • Source strength: profiled_from_repo_notes

Hope Citadel Healthcare

  • Kind: peer_operator
  • Source strength: mixed_repo_notes_and_dataset
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 10
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Direct multi-practice comparator already visible as a strong management-company cluster in the current dataset and named in the Manchester tender outcome discussion.
  • Legal / organisational shape: External organisational profile is thinner in this folder than GTD/NHGPPO/SPCT, but it is a clearly recurring operator label in the current dataset and repo notes.
  • Relationship to GTD: Tender competitor and current-dataset comparator cluster.
  • Why it matters: It won Hawthorn and Droylsden in the cited Manchester tender context and provides one of the closest non-GTD comparison groups in the current dataset.
  • Note: The current dataset already has strong direct management-company matches for this group.

Direct management-company examples in current dataset:

  • Y02890 - Hawthorn MC (M14 6FS) via management_company_name
  • Y02795 - Middleton Health Centre (M24 4EL) via management_company_name
  • Y02718 - Birtle View Medical Practice (OL10 4PW) via management_company_name

Rochdale Health Alliance

  • Kind: peer_operator
  • Source strength: tender_quote_plus_partial_repo_notes
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 0
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Named in the inquiry/tender synthesis as a winner for Bolton and HMR lots, but still thinly resolved in the current dataset work.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Public peer/provider layer; exact local mapping still needs pinning down in this repo.
  • Relationship to GTD: Tender competitor / alternate provider layer.
  • Why it matters: Important because it shows the Manchester-area contract market is not just GTD versus one rival; there is a wider repeat-operator field.
  • Note: Exact practice mapping for the quoted Bolton and HMR lots still needs cleaning up.

Tracked practice checks:

  • Bolton lot - exact practices unresolved not found in the current catchment dataset.
  • HMR lot - exact practices unresolved not found in the current catchment dataset.

SSP Health

  • Kind: dataset_multi_practice_group
  • Source strength: dataset_cluster_only
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 10
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Large non-GTD multi-practice management-company cluster already visible inside the current dataset.
  • Legal / organisational shape: External organisational profile not yet curated in this folder; current knowledge is primarily from the enriched dataset and scattered repo mentions.
  • Relationship to GTD: Comparator cluster rather than a heavily profiled GTD-adjacent institution in repo notes.
  • Why it matters: It is one of the largest non-GTD management-company clusters in the current catchment, so the org navigator should expose it even before the external profile is deepened.
  • Note: Keep this visible, but avoid overstating organisational claims until the external profile is fleshed out.

Direct management-company examples in current dataset:

  • Y02319 - Bolton General Practice (BL1 4TH) via management_company_name

  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0

  • Legal / organisational shape: External organisational profile not yet curated in this folder.
  • Relationship to GTD: Comparator cluster in the same broad regional practice-management space.
  • Why it matters: Useful for showing that the dataset contains more than one repeat operator footprint beyond GTD and Hope Citadel.

Direct management-company examples in current dataset:

  • P83012 - Tower Family Healthcare (BL8 4AD) via management_company_name
  • P83012002 - Tower Family Healthcare - Greenmount (BL8 4DR) via management_company_name

  • Source strength: dataset_cluster_only
  • Direct management matches in current dataset: 5
  • Affiliated-group matches in current dataset: 0
  • Summary: Distinct multi-practice group label already visible in the current dataset.
  • Legal / organisational shape: Current repo knowledge is mainly the dataset label and practice footprint; external organisational profile remains to be curated.
  • Relationship to GTD: Comparator cluster.
  • Why it matters: Should appear in the navigator because it is one of the stronger non-GTD management-company clusters in the catchment.

Direct management-company examples in current dataset:

  • P88026004 - Little Moor Surgery (SK2 5AR) via management_company_name
  • P88026005 - Bosden Moor Surgery (SK2 5JL) via management_company_name
