Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Castle Point and Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group, North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, and Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group are inviting suitably qualified providers to apply to join the Urgent Primary Medical Care Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS). The PDPS allows for the provision of urgent primary medical care services and will be in place for a five-year term commencing on the 1st of December 2019, with potential extensions. During each round, potential bidders are required to submit completed Selection Questionnaires by specific dates, with future opening and closing dates outlined for subsequent rounds. The contracting authorities aim to re-open the PDPS annually to allow for the addition of new providers.

This invitation provides business opportunities for providers experienced in health and social work services, medical practice, and community health services. Businesses with a focus on health services suited for the Essex region, which includes North East Essex, West Essex, Mid Essex, Basildon & Brentwood, Thurrock, Southend-on-Sea, and Castle Point and Rochford, are encouraged to apply. The PDPS facilitates a selective procurement process, enabling approved providers to bid for individual Call-Off Contracts based on the specific services required. Potential bidders should note key deadlines for submissions and be prepared to adhere to the outlined terms and conditions for subsequent call-offs under the PDPS.

Notice Title

This PDPS was established on 18th November 2019. Hereafter all references to the Authority incorporates these organisations: NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB), NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB, NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Urgent (Parachute / Caretaking) Primary Medical Care Services under this PDPS fall within the light-touch regime (LTR - PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77). The PDPS in many respects looks and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. The Authority makes this distinction to avoid implying that they will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement. This PDPS will be in place for a five-year term commencing 1st December 2019, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. It covers circumstances that may arise that require the Authority to put in place an Urgent Primary Medical Care Services contract where, due to the time limitations, the Authority opts not to undertake an individual procurement process. (This is sometimes also referred to as a Primary Medical Care 'Parachute' or 'Caretaking' service or 'Emergency Cover'). Bidders should therefore note that this PDPS places no obligation on the Authority to procure Services during the term of this PDPS. Individual circumstances may include: unforeseen or short notice circumstances, such as; the unexpected death of a single-handed Provider, or the failure to comply with a contractual breach notice or Care Quality Commission (CQC) essential standards, a termination notice issued by existing Provider or partnership dissolution, or a failed procurement process leading to urgent requirement as result of contract expiry. This Contract Notice communicates the Authority's intention to commence Round 3 of the procurement process to re-open the established PDPS. Potential Bidders can request to participate by completing a Selection Questionnaire to demonstrate how they meet the stated minimum selection criteria. In addition, Potential Bidders who wish to join the PDPS must provide information about their proposed ability to provide Urgent Primary Medical Care Services, in relation to a number of 'Categories' of information. The Authority will use this information to inform a Filtering Process during any Call-Off procedure. Bidders must score a minimum of 40% of the total available weighted quality marks in order for their Bid to be considered any further. On any question, a score of 0 will be considered a Fail and the bid may be rejected. The tender documents issued by Authority for specific Call-Off Contracts under this PDPS will fully confirm the specific terms and conditions applicable for the provision of Services. Call-Off Contracts will be awarded by either Direct Award or Further Competition via an Invitation to Tender issued by the Authority. Providing that a Potential Bidder on the Approved Provider List has been identified as eligible to bid for a particular Call-Off Contract via the PDPS Filtering Process, and they continue to meet the minimum selection criteria, they will be able to bid for the Call-Off Contract. Each individual ITT for a Call-Off Contract will include the detailed Service Specification and any required service elements relating to such Call-Off Contract. The Procurement documentation includes the relevant terms and conditions that may be utilised by the parties for subsequent call-offs under the PDPS (albeit the Authority is permitted to incorporate their own preferred forms subject to their ongoing compliance with any relevant restrictions). The PDPS in itself is therefore not a contract; contracts are only formed when Services are called-off under the PDPS. Further details on the Filtering Process and the Call-Off Procedure can be found the procurement documentation pack available. Further information also provided in section VI.3. Additional information: See VI.3) Additional information

Options: The Authority reserves the right to extend the PDPS for an additional 12 month period at the Authority's sole discretion.

Renewal: Annually, namely the 1st working day of the month of April. This date may be subject to change.
