Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Adult Secondary Mental Health Services in West Essex is being managed by the West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group. This contract, awarded to the incumbent provider, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT), is classified under health services and is part of a projected three-year agreement valued at approximately £72 million, which is set to commence on 1st April 2021 and conclude on 31st March 2024. The award follows a limited procurement method without prior publication, highlighting the unique circumstances concerning the services provided by EPUT due to the establishment of an Integrated Care Partnership in the region.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health sector, particularly those focused on mental health services and community health initiatives. Organizations experienced in delivering integrated care solutions that align with the NHS Long Term Plan (2019-2024) would be well-suited to engage in future procurement processes, especially considering the need for additional investments in mental health services over the next three years. Competitors should be prepared to demonstrate a commitment to partnership development and service continuity within the West Essex healthcare framework.

Notice Title

Adult Secondary Mental Health Services in West Essex

Notice Description

This Contract Award Notice follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice in the Find A Tender portal on 17th February 2021 (ref: 2021/S 000-003229) informing the market of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a contract for Adult Secondary Mental Health Services in West Essex to its incumbent provider, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT).

Lot Information

Lot 1

This Contract Award Notice follows the publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice in the Find A Tender portal on 17th February 2021 (ref: 2021/S 000-003229) informing the market of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a contract for Adult Secondary Mental Health Services in West Essex to its incumbent provider, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT). The agreed direction of travel in West Essex is to formally establish an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) known locally as the One Health and Care Partnership (OHCP), with incumbent providers across the health and social care system working to deliver system transformation plans. EPUT, as the incumbent provider for both Community Services, and Adults Secondary Mental Health Services are a crucial partner in the development of these plans. Therefore any re-procurement of EPUT services at this time would likely destabilise the progress made in developing the ICP model. Furthermore, ambitious deliverables were outlined for the mental health services in the NHS Long Term Plan (2019 - 2024); work has commenced with EPUT on a number of these deliverables and there is recognition that transformation will take time to embed. If a procurement for this service is undertaken there is a risk that current transformation schemes to ensure the LPT ambitions are met will be disrupted leading to non-achievement of these within West Essex. The contract will be for a period of 3-years, starting on 1st April 2021 and ending on 31st March 2024. The total value of the 3-year period is approximately PS72m. It is recognised that in line with the requirements of the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS), additional investment is also required year-on-year over the next 3 years, which will increase the contract value by an additional percentage. This increase is not yet confirmed, therefore the value within this Notice is expected to be an upper value which allows for any additional investment required. Additional information: Following publication of the VEAT the Contracting Authority allowed a 10-day standstill period in line with best practice prior to entering into any formal contractual arrangement with EPUT.
