Contract Summary

NHS England South East (The Commissioner) invites bids from providers who have the capability and capacity to host and deliver (either directly or via a subcontractor) the substantive service. The host should be an Acute Trust, or an Acute Trust in partnership with a Non-Acute Trust, currently commissioned/contracted to deliver adult critical care/ICU services. This Trust, or Trust partnership/consortium, will work collaboratively within a governance framework of an Adult Critical Care Transfer Service (ACCTS) Partnership Board to set up and host the ACCTS within the South East Region. The ACCTS will be a regionally based critical care transfer service providing consultant led coordination, decision-support and transfer of critically ill patients between hospitals for time critical and non-time critical escalation to specialist care, retrieval, repatriation, and non-clinical transfers for capacity during periods of surge. The ACCTS will provide transfer services for all NHS Acute Trusts within the South East regional geography (i.e. there will be a single contract covering the ICS regions of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West, Frimley Health and Care, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Kent and Medway, Surrey Heartlands and Sussex). It is primarily focussed on intra region transfers but must be capable of delivering inter regional transfers and repatriations along patient tertiary referral pathways and during periods of surge capacity when the Adult Critical Care (ACC) service is under pressure. The commissioning of the ACCTS will provide a minimum standard of care and equitable access for all adult patients during transfers. The service is currently commissioned in an interim arrangement directly with an Ambulance Service Trust in the South East and a London Ambulance provider; this arrangement does not provide cover to the entire region with some areas undertaking alternative arrangements. As is described in the national toolkits, it is anticipated that the substantive service will be hosted and delivered by an Acute Trust or an Acute Trust in partnership with a Non-Acute Trust, with experience of delivering adult critical care services. The host will retain contractual and clinical responsibility for the delivery of the ACCTS. The operational and management activity of the ACCTS will be overseen collaboratively within a governance framework of an ACCTS Partnership Board, with representation from the host, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and NHSE (as a minimum) and where strategic collaborative decisions will be made about the set up and design of the service, as well as the long-term strategy and reporting. Please refer to the 'Additional Text' section for further information. The Call Handling and Control Centre (Single Point of Access) will operate 24 hours per day throughout the contract term, as per the updated service specification. This procurement is being carried out by NHS SCW on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: The ACCTS will operate as a standalone service, which means that whilst the host will hold the substantive or honorary contracts for clinical staff, staff must not function as part of a Critical Care Unit in terms of staffing, day-to-day function or interdependence. Staff must be independent and not have other clinical responsibilities whilst carrying out transfer shifts. The transfer service will initially operate an extended day time service to maximise cover across 14 hours of the day, although commissioners may wish to work with the provider to extend this during the life of the contract, should additional resource be identified. If so, the intention is that this would be undertaken by permitted contract variation following discussion and agreement between the Commissioner and the provider, provision having been made in this procurement for this to take place if required. The contracts will be let for an initial term of 5 years, with a possible extension of a further four years, as defined and at the discretion of the Commissioner. The contract is due to commence on 1st October 2023, with the aim being that transfer services are fully operational by 1st November 2023. The maximum value of the contract will be £6,155,400 per annum, equating to a total maximum contract value of £55,398,600 over the possible nine year period including extension. The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations"), which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). The tendering process will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and flexibilities provided by Articles 74 to 76 of the Directive, and Regulations 74 to 76 of the Regulations. The Authority will run a transparent tender process, treating all Bidders equally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority will not be bound by the Regulations or the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services. Neither the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, nor the use of any language or terms found in the Directive or Regulations, nor the description of the procedure voluntarily adopted by the Authority ("Open", "Restricted", "Competitive Procedure with Negotiation", "Competitive Dialogue" or any other description), nor any other indication, shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold itself bound by the Directive or Regulations, save by the provisions applicable to services coming within the scope of Annex XIV of the Directive/Schedule 3 of the Regulations. The Contracting Authority intends to voluntarily observe the award decision notices provisions and 10 day standstill period described in Regulation 86 of the Regulations.

Contract Summary

NHS England and NHS Improvement South East (The Commissioner) seeks initial Expressions of Interest (EOI) from providers who have the capability and capacity to host the ACCTS within the South East Region. The Commissioner aims to ensure the substantive commissioned ACCTS is in place during the 2022/23 financial year, which aligns with the current nationally produced service specification for ACCTS (a copy of which can be found at https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/adult-critical-care-transfer-services, along with toolkits). It is currently anticipated that the contract duration will be in the region of 3-5 years, although this is to be confirmed. The contract value for the new contract is to be finalised and is dependent on a number of factors, including a potential extension of the service hours. The ACCTS will be a regionally based critical care transfer service/s providing consultant led coordination, decision-support and transfer of critically ill patients between hospitals for time critical and non-time critical escalation to specialist care, retrieval, repatriation, and non-clinical transfers for capacity during periods of surge. It is primarily focussed on intra region transfers but must be capable of delivering inter regional transfers and repatriations along patient tertiary referral pathways and during periods of surge capacity when the Adult Critical Care (ACC) service is under pressure. The commissioning of the ACCTS will provide a minimum standard of care and equitable access for all adult patients during transfers. The host of this service is responsible for the ACCTS and facilitating running the service, but decisions will be made through the partnership board (see below). These services are currently commissioned in an interim arrangement directly with the two NHS Ambulance Service Trusts in the South East. As is described in the National toolkits, it is anticipated that the substantive service will be hosted by an Acute Trust or an Acute Trust in partnership with a Non-Acute Trust, with experience of delivering adult critical care services. This Trust, or Trust partnership, would work collaboratively within a governance framework of an ACCTS Partnership Board to set up and host the ACCT Service, as described in the national toolkits. The ACCT Service will operate as a standalone service, which means that whilst the host will hold the substantive or honorary contracts for clinical staff, they must not function as part of a Critical Care Unit in terms of staffing, day-to-day function or interdependence. Staff must be independent and not have other clinical responsibilities whilst carrying out transfer shifts. Additional information: The host will retain contractual and clinical responsibility for the delivery of the ACCTS. The operational and management activity of the ACCT Service will be overseen by the ACCT Service Partnership Board, with representation from the host and NHSEI (as a minimum) and where strategic collaborative decisions will be made about the set up and design of the service, as well as the long-term strategy and reporting. EOIs received will be used to help NHSE/I identify any potential providers interested in hosting the service and determine commissioning and contracting options for these services. As such, only organisations with appropriate capability and actual/potential capacity to host the ACCTS should respond to this notice. To register an Expression of Interest please access the In-Tend e-procurement portal and complete the short questionnaire requesting contact details etc. The deadline for EOIs is 12 noon on Tuesday 5th October 2021. Following receipt of EOIs, engagement will take place with potential provider hosts, and is likely to take the form of briefing events, workshops and/or meetings. Interested providers will be able to view the associated notice via the 'current tenders' list on the In-Tend e-procurement portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/scwcsu/aspx/Home This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of NHSE/I. The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). Publication of this notice does not commit NHS England to a future procurement. NHS England will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit NHS England and NHS Improvement or respondents to a future procurement or to any award of contracts, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest.
