Notice Title
Hospice at Home End of Life Services Provision in Hertfordshire and West Essex
Notice Description
This contract award notice follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) published on 15th March 2023 which was intended to provide notice of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a contract for 'Hospice at Home' End of Life services to its incumbent provider, Marie Curie, to continue to provide services within the Hertfordshire area. The reference number for the VEAT is 2023/S 000-007494. This notice is intended to provide confirmation of conclusion of the contract award for the services set out within the published VEAT Notice. The service will provide holistic palliative and end of life care which will include crisis and planned response, specialist holistic assessment, symptom control, emotional support and practical "hands on" nursing and social care which includes respite for carer's based upon priorities. The Hospice at Home service is one element working in partnership with colleagues and other organisations to ensure that wherever possible the services on offer meet the needs of service users effectively and flexibly and represent effective and efficient use of available resources. All service users will be cared for on an integrated End of Life Care pathway which includes Advance Care Planning, Preferred Priorities of Care. The new contract proposed will be for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further 12 months. The new contract will start on 1st April 2023 and will end on 31st March 2024 with the option to extend from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The contract has been in place since 2013, the total cumulative value of this service since it began is PS 1,838,066.00 (not including the value of this contract). The value of this contract without extension is PS151,239, increasing to PS302,478 if extended by a further 12 months. The figure reflected in this notice is the total contract value including the option to extend by a further 12 months. This value has decreased slightly from the value published within the VEAT which was PS154,153 for 1- year, increasing to PS308,306 including the option. However, this is not of material difference and the scope of the services continues to be as described. The HWE ICB became a legal entity on 1st July 2022, replacing the previous Hertfordshire and West Essex CCGs. The organisation is in its early stages and is forming its commissioning and procurement strategies. It is the intention of the HWE ICB to undertake a full commissioning review of its hospice services across the area. To procure services at this stage would risk destabilisation and misalignment to the wider strategy. This short-term contract will allow the HWE ICB time to ensure that a robust strategic review is undertaken. The closing date within this Notice is the date on which the waiver was approved.
