Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North West London Clinical Commissioning Group has completed the procurement process for the London Home Oxygen Service, which aims to provide essential home oxygen therapy for patients across London. This process is classified under the goods category, specifically involving oxygen services and related medical equipment. The contract, valued at £14,168,880.20, was signed on 1st January 2021, and the procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to previous unsuccessful procurement attempts. The contract is now active and supports the continuation of services previously provided by Air Liquide Healthcare Limited, based in Droitwich.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses in the medical supplies sector, particularly those that manufacture or supply oxygen delivery systems, oxygen masks, and medical breathing devices. Companies capable of meeting the requirements for providing home oxygen services or related equipment would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders as the NHS prepares for a new procurement exercise. Given the importance of supplying critical health services, successful bidders can expect long-term partnerships with the NHS, fostering further business development and innovation in healthcare delivery.

Notice Title

London Home Oxygen Service

Notice Description

The home oxygen therapy service provides a service to patients that are resident in London in their own homes and supports patients working and travelling outside the home through the provision of appropriate oxygen equipment. The service is commissioned by NHS North West London CCG on behalf of all London CCGs.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The existing contract with Air Liquide is extended to provide continuity of a critical service for patients whilst a procurement exercise is undertaken to establish a new contract. The contract is being extended on the same terms as existing. The contract for the provision of home oxygen services was established by a predecessor body.

Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority has assessed that the extension can be awarded without a new procurement procedure in accordance with Regulation 72 (c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The services relevant to this Contract Award Notice were subject to two previous attempts to procure a new service which were not awarded following challenges to the process brought by unsuccessful bidders. This has necessitated a further contract extension to the contract for existing service whilst a third procurement procedure is prepared. The new procedure will be advertised in accordance with the regulations.
