Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group is currently overseeing a procurement process for the NHS Elective Treatment and Diagnostic Services at the NHS Southampton Elective Treatment Centre. This entry pertains to a contract update and modification notice, originally awarded following a full tender process in 2014, intended to extend and continue the provision of essential health services such as urgent and routine elective care for adults and children. The contract, valued at £186,032,158, is under the Health Services industry category, and runs throughout its duration to ensure robust local healthcare delivery for the populations of Hampshire, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight. The current procurement stage reflects ongoing modification efforts due to unforeseen circumstances arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, which have necessitated adjustments to ensure service continuity and effective patient care.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in elective and diagnostic treatments. Companies that provide ancillary services, such as surgical support, outpatient care, and diagnostic facilities, would be well-positioned to compete in this contract. Organisations that have the capacity to deliver high-quality, efficient, and patient-focused care as defined by NICE clinical guidelines can engage in this tendering process which aims to maintain and possibly expand essential health services in a region with considerable healthcare demands.

The national contract commenced on 23 March 2020 and was extended several times under different terms and conditions, finally expiring on 31 March 2021. During this period, the CCG's contract with Practice Plus Group was suspended and, as the CCG was not the contract holder, limiting its ability to undertake key activity. * The ability to undertake meaningful engagement and consultation as part of any review process has been limited by the pandemic, for example as national 'lockdowns' would preclude the convening of patient and public groups. * This modification is required to ensure essential service delivery can be maintained, with no detrimental impact on patient care given the above unforeseeable circumstances. Accordingly, under Reg 72(1)(c) Public Contract Regulation 2015 this Modification Notice is being published as notification of the decision by Hampshire, Southampton and IOW CCG to extend the existing contract for NHS Treatment Southampton Elective Treatment Centre) with Practice Plus Group for 24 months outside of the terms originally procured. This modification is required under Reg 72(1)(c) Public Contract Regulation 2015, due to circumstances which a diligent Contracting Authority could not have foreseen. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. This time is considered necessary and proportional to alleviate the risk stated in this notice and will give the above-named Contracting Authority sufficient time to review the service to inform any future commissioning strategies and models.",
                    "rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Covid pandemic has resulted in emergency measures which have delayed the process of reviewing, consulting on and agreeing the commissioning strategy and re-procurement of the NHS Southampton Elective Treatment Centre contract. Originally, the contracting authority had plans in place to undertake a thorough service review of the scope of services and service model, with deliverables including: * Agreement on commissioning strategy April 2020 * Set up Procurement Board May 2020 * Full review of specialities, strategy, specification etc.May-Dec 2020 * Market notice published Jan 2021. The Covid pandemic and related unforeseen circumstances have resulted in significant delays to the scheduled service review and subsequent re-tendering activity, for example as: * Management of the Covid-19 response, both in terms of immediate measures and the subsequent recovery of diagnostic and elective activity (in between Covid waves), has necessarily been the focus of the contracting authority, the incumbent provider and key partners and stakeholders since March 2020. * Resources in the contracting authority were redirected to support frontline activities including direct care for patients, efforts to support supply chain activities and vaccination programmes in line with national guidance around removing routine burdens and freeing up as much capacity as possible to focus on the pandemic response. * Resources in the wider system, including Acute and Community NHS Trusts and providers, Primary Care, Community and Tier 2 Providers and Clinicians, and other partners/ stakeholders, all of whom would have been engaged in the review and re-tendering exercise, were redirected to support frontline activities and the pandemic response. * As part of the Covid-19 response, NHS E&I secured all available independent sector capacity including the Southampton Elective Treatment Centre (currently run by Practice Plus Group). The national contract commenced on 23 March 2020 and was extended several times under different terms and conditions, finally expiring on 31 March 2021. During this period, the CCG's contract with Practice Plus Group Southampton was suspended and, as the CCG was not the contract holder, limiting its ability to undertake key activity. * The ability to undertake meaningful engagement and consultation as part of any review process has been limited by the pandemic, for example as national 'lockdowns' would preclude the convening of patient and public groups. The pandemic and related emergency measures, including the national contract, has also meant that: * Data (e.g. activity and demand), which is essential to inform future commissioning strategies and models, is now out of date. The last 'steady state' data available is from 2019/20, prior to the pandemic. * Data gathered during the pandemic is not relevant or comparable, as the CCG's contract with Practice Plus Group was suspended during this time, and the incumbent provider's capacity redirected to activity to support the Acute NHS Trust. * Ways of working, patient behaviours and care pathways have all changed as a result of the pandemic. As noted in national guidance, it is vital that future work takes account of lessons learned during Covid, by locking in beneficial change and addressing both opportunities and weaknesses highlighted since March 2020. * As such, the 2019/20 baseline cannot be viewed as a reliable source for modelling future requirements. Given the pandemic is still ongoing, as is the analysis of lessons learned from Covid, and this will be essential to developing robust and future proof service models which meet the needs of our population. At the same time, the restructure of the NHS including the merging of CCGs is going ahead despite the disruption caused by the pandemic. As such, the health and care landscape is changing significantly. The Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG has been formed, bringing opportunities to consider demand and capacity modelling, speciality reviews and innovative models of care across a wider geography. Further changes are anticipated with the formation of Integrated Care Systems in July 2022. The Contracting Authority considers the above issues have resulted in a set of circumstances which a diligent Contracting Authority could not have foreseen. Accordingly, Hampshire, Southampton and IOW CCG has decided there is a requirement to extend the existing contract for NHS Southampton Elective Treatment Centre with Practice Plus Group for 24 months outside of the terms originally procured under Reg 72(1)(c) Public Contract Regulation 2015. The modification will enable a review to be undertaken in order to inform decisions about the type and scope of service required to meet future needs, based on robust data gathering, patient, clinical and stakeholder engagement, and lessons learned from the pandemic and the NHS restructure. The modification will also enable a robust, competitive procurement to be undertaken, including an adequate mobilisation period to minimise any risk of service discontinuity or negative impacts on patients or the wider system. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract."
