This is a Contract Award Notice made by the Contracting Authority; NHS Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (hereinafter referred to as "the Authority") in compliance with their local standing financial instructions (SFIs), for delivery of Termination of Pregnancy Services covering the population of Mid and South Essex, for a period of 12 month, from 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2023. This Contract Award Notice follows the Voluntary ex ante transparency notice (2022/S 000-007495) published: 18 March 2022. The aggregate contract value is forecasted at PS2,075,023 (including VAT) over the one-year term, equating to PS1,729,186 (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 The Authority is currently in a transitional period with the expectation to be superseded as a statutory body, by an Integrated Care Board in late 2022.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 as it is considered to be the most technically capable provider in the current environment, whilst transitioning to the ICB, to ensure quality, safety and consistency in provision of care that meet the needs of the population during this transition period.
