            "description": "NWL CCG has a duty within the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 to decide how best to commission and procure healthcare services and although consideration should be given to competition, the NWL CCG should assess where the most capable or only provider or providers can be identified. Given the critical nature of this service, NWL CCG has assessed that no other providers will be technically capable to deliver the service which is as integrated with the existing community provider landscape. The contract is being extended to agree the approach to commission this service at NWL ICS level in line with national and ICS guidance to ensure smoother, less complicated, non-duplicated service delivery. It would be inappropriate the seek interests of competitive proposals from the market at this stage. The 7 months interim contract period will allow NW London ICS to agree a consistent and standardise Hillingdon-wide delivery model to achieve effectiveness, efficiencies and excellence in patient experience at all levels of service delivery.
