Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice and is intended to provide notice of the Contracting Authority's intention to award a contract for Adult Community Services to its incumbent provider to continue to provide services within the West Essex 'place' area. In line with the NHS Long Term plan, Herts and West Essex Integrated Care Board has an ambitious strategy to integrate the delivery of health and care for the population. The West Essex system has been on a journey of integration with its incumbent providers for a number of years to develop integrated solutions for delivery of services across a number of different pathways. The incumbent provider, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) are a key partner within the system. As a key partner the Authority has been working with EPUT to redesign services which will deliver true integration with both the local acute and primary care providers. The new contract proposed will be for a period of 1-year with the option to extend for a further year. This additional time will allow for continuation of the transformational work which aims to provide increased high quality and joined up services to the patients of West Essex without risking destabilisation of the transformational projects currently in place which will enable success of the long term strategy. This new contract will enable the ICB to properly establish its strategic commissioning intentions for the long-term delivery of the services. The following key services are in scope: Community Nursing / Integrated Care Teams, Community Inpatient Beds, Early Supporting Discharge Stroke Service, Physiotherapy, Orthotics, Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, Bladder & Bowl, Dietetics, Podiatry, Respiratory Physio, Pulmonary & Cardiac Rehab, Wheelchairs, Equipment, Long COVID. Also included are multi-provider services such as PCN Aligned Care Teams, Care Coordination Centre and Integrated MSK service which rely heavily on the integration of EPUT teams to deliver the West Essex place Out of Hospital Strategy. EPUT has been delivering Adult Community Services since 2013. The total cumulative value of the contract to date is PS277.3m (not including the value of this contract). The value of the contract is PS33.7m p/a - PS67.4m if the extension option is enacted. The new contract will start on 1st April 2023 and will end on 31st March 2024 with the option to extend from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. Additional information: In line with best practice, the Authority will apply a voluntary 10-day standstill period from the publication date of this Notice before awarding the contract, pursuant to Regulation 99(3) (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended (EU Exit) 2020 etc.).

Options: Option to extend for a 1-year period.

Procurement Information

Herts and West Essex ICB has been working with its system partners for a number of years to develop a strategy to deliver truly integrated health services to its patient population. This development has reached a crucial point with a number of key transformational programmes being both in development, and in place, which are being tested and evaluated. The Hertfordshire and West Essex Board was established on 1st July 2022, as such commissioning strategies are being developed. To procure the services at this point will likely destabilise the excellent progress which is being made and delay implementation of the integrated care programmes. Any delay would also have an adverse impact on the patient population.
