Procurement Information
Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) went out to tender for The Provision of the Early Help Eating Disorder Service in Hertfordshire in October 2021 (Publication Reference 2021/S 000-025737 dated 14th October 2021). Despite significant interest shown at the extremely well attended PPME Event in June 2021, no bids were received as a result of the tender process. The on-going effect of the Covid 19 Pandemic has seen an unprecedented rise in the number of Children and Young people (CYP) presenting with an eating disorder. This rise has shown no sign of slowing down to date and services have seen an increase in the number of CYP presenting with an eating disorder. This increase is being seen nationally, with some services reporting a doubling of referrals. Due to the failed tender exercise (as no bids were received) and increased demand for this service HCC progressed with the option of a direct award. HCC engaged with possible providers for this service in a manner that treated them equally and without discrimination, however only one provider provided a full proposal that met the requirements (which were the same as those initially sought under the failed procurement). As only one proposal was provided and was suitable, HCC is of the view that the contract award is in compliance with Regulation 32(2)(a). From market feedback we understand that due to the increased demand for this type of service, providers were unable to commit to taking on an additional Contract at this time. The Contract will be for 2 years with the option for extend for up to 24 months (2 x 12 months). The value stated include the value of any possible extensions.
