Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "South East Essex End of Life and Hospice Services" has been initiated by NHS Castle Point and Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southend Clinical Commissioning Group. This procurement falls under the healthcare industry category and is taking place in South East Essex. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 16th March 2022, valued at £1,863,788 (including VAT) for a duration of 24 months, running from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2024. The procurement method used was limited, with the rationale being technical reasons that necessitated awarding the contract without prior public competition.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for organisations specialising in healthcare services, particularly those focused on palliative and end-of-life care. Businesses with expertise in delivering hospice services, complex symptom management, and community support, alongside a robust understanding of NHS procedures and standards, would be well-suited to compete in future procurements of similar nature. The emphasis on quality over price in the award criteria indicates that providers demonstrating exceptional service delivery capabilities will have a competitive advantage in this market.

This is a Contract Award Notice made by the Contracting Authorities; NHS Castle Point and Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southend Clinical Commissioning Group (hereinafter referred to as "the Authority") in compliance with their local standing financial instructions (SFIs), to Havens Hospice (Fair Havens) to deliver End of Life and Hospice Services covering the population of South East Essex, for a period of 24 months, from 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2024. This Contract Award Notice follows the Voluntary ex ante transparency notice (2022/S 000-007493) published: 18 March 2022. The aggregate contract value is forecasted at PS1,863,788 (including VAT) over the two-year term, equating to PS1,553,157 excluding VAT). The Contracting Authority is yet to agree appropriate inflation and uplift for this contract for the period of 2022/23 and 2023/24. These will be dealt with as Contract Variations in accordance with the NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions. The Authority deems any such variations are not substantial or material changes, as they occur due to external causes beyond the Authority's control, including changes in contract value driven by changes in patient volume. The Authority will publish appropriate Notices accordingly to communicate any such future changes to the market, once final. Additional information: The Service to which this procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended by as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, (the "Regulations"). As such, the Contracting Authority does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services.

Procurement Information

The Service falls within Schedule 3 ('social and other specific services', also known as the "Light Touch" Regime) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 ('PPAR 2020'). The Authority is currently in a transitional period with the expectation to be superseded as a statutory body, by an Integrated Care Board in late 2022. The organisation shall have a key function as part of the overall Integrated Care System. At the current time, longer-term strategies across all sectors are under discussion and longer term commissioning decisions and or procurements cannot take place until these legal arrangements are confirmed. The Authority has therefore taken a decision to award a contract to the incumbent provider to manage critical risks and ensure consistency in provision of care that meet the needs of the population. These Services have historically been provided under an NHS Grant Agreement, due to their nature but the Authority has decided to move these onto a contract to support clinical quality oversight and to align with other main two MSE Hospices. Additionally, the provider is considered most technically capable of providing the most economically advantageous solution to the Authority under the current environment whilst transitioning to the ICB, because the NHS is contributing to the overall costs towards all of the services within the contract being delivered by the provider already, and so gets a return on investment. The Authority is applying the NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions to support a combination of services, all of which are part funded a under a single clinical contract, to ensure appropriate clinical governance and service delivery quality as well as consistency of service to patients.
