Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the NHS City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group, which is seeking a provider for the "PRJ-1005 City and Hackney CCG Bereavement Service" to deliver dedicated bereavement counselling services in the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London. This contract is categorised under health and social work services and falls within the service procurement category. The current procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to St Joseph's Hospice for a value of £76,087.50, with a contract duration extending until September 2021 due to an ongoing merger with six other Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating within the health and social care sector, particularly those offering counselling and mental health services, to engage in public procurement. Potential competitors may include local charities, mental health organisations, and counselling service providers that possess experience in bereavement support, and who have established connections with community health services. With the impending merger of the CCGs, there may be further opportunities for competitive tendering in future contracts as the new North East London CCG seeks to consolidate their service providers.

Notice Title

PRJ-1005 City and Hackney CCG Bereavement Service

Notice Description

This contract provide dedicated bereavement counselling service in Hackney to improve the mental wellbeing of bereaved family members, carers, relatives and friends. City and Hackney CCG is undergoing a merger with 6 other CCGs on 1-Apr-2021 and is intending to issue a short extension (6 months) to all contracts expiring on 31-Mar-2021 to provide continuity during the merger. This is under regulation 72(b)(i) and 72(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because a change of contractor cannot be made for technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience for the CCG.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Bereavement services form an integral part of services for those who have experienced bereavement of various types, including loss due to ill health, violent circumstances, trauma and injury, whether expected or sudden. Individuals cope very differently when faced with loss and often experience delayed grief, some months or even years after the event. The Bereavement Service provides dedicated bereavement counselling in Hackney aiming to improve the mental wellbeing of bereaved family members, carers, relatives and friends. The service will identify those who may need more intensive input either from the service or who may benefit from referral to other services.

Procurement Information

City & Hackney CCG is being merged with 6 other CCGs to form North East London CCG (NEL CCG) on 1-April-2021. To ensure smooth transition to NEL CCG the CCG is extending all contracts for 6 months where continuity of provider is deemed necessary. The CCG is publishing this notice to signal its intention to directly award a contract, on the grounds that continuing to use the original contractors is necessary during the merger for technical reasons and that changing contractor at this time would cause significant inconvenience to the CCG (PCR 2015, Reg 72(b)(i) and (b)(ii). While consideration has been given to the Coronavirus pandemic response 32(2)(c) is not being cited as the primary reason for the extension. The CCG believes that this supplier is already integrated with other services in East London, and has strong links with local health, social care, community and voluntary organisations. This enables it to deliver services in an integrated way and provide holistic care that meets the needs of local patients. The intended contract extension is for 6 months, to September 2021, and by that time NEL CCG will have been able to complete the merger process, understand where it has multiple contracts for the same services, and make decisions on competitive tendering options for future consolidated contracts as a new organisation.
