Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group has recently completed a public procurement process for "Cheshire End of Life Domiciliary Care," aimed at establishing a new model of care in response to urgent needs arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. This procurement, classified under health services, falls within the services category, with the aim of ensuring continuous care delivery up until 30th September 2023. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication, justified under technical reasons due to the clinical nature of the services required. The project is based in Cheshire, UK, with a contract value of approximately £5.25 million signed on 30th September 2021.

This awarding presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and care sector, especially those specialising in domiciliary care and support services. Companies capable of providing high-quality end-of-life care and those with experience in managing clinical operations in community settings would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts that may arise from the ongoing needs identified by the NHS. The urgency of this procurement underscores the potential market demand for responsive care services, particularly as the healthcare system seeks to mitigate pressures from patient discharges and community care facilitation.

Notice Title

Cheshire End of Life Domiciliary Care

Notice Description

Further to the issue of a Prior Information Notice on 3rd June (Reference 012517-2021), this VEAT confirms the intention to appoint a lead provider to deliver a new model of care for domiciliary support at end of life. This service will be provided by Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP) on behalf of Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT). The Covid-19 outbreak has delayed the Commissioners detailed preparation and engagement for a full procurement for domiciliary support at end of life in Cheshire. This has given rise to an urgent need to secure provision of service during these uncertain times and to meet the increased pressures to swiftly discharge patients from Acute services into community settings and enable Cheshire residents to receive care in their preferred setting. Commissioners are keen to avoid any disruption to services as well as to respond to increasing system pressures which puts at risk existing provision, while a wider review of provision is undertaken. Accordingly, the contracting authority considers this is a state of urgency that is duly substantiated and been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen and awards a contract of for the provision of services up until 30th September 2023. NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group is acting in its capacity as Lead Commissioner.
