Lot Information
GPwSI Services
The Authority intends to award a contract to Stellar Healthcare Ltd for provision of GPwSI Services for HWE Area. The Board previously approved a waiver extending the contract to 30th June 2023 and although the time since the previous waiver has been utilised to undertake a full-service review and some early market engagement, there are new factors with potential to delay the start of the new contract including: 1. Specifications needed clinical review and resource wasn't available until January 2023 2. Further market engagement needed 3. Original timeline had no contingency built in 4. Mobilisation period deemed too short for realistic implementation 5. Contract award timeline anchored to ICB Commissioning Committee in July 2023. * Subsequently, a short-term extension is required to allow sufficient time for a robust process to take place. The request is for a waiver to support an extension to the service to 30th November 2023 for both contracts.

Procurement Information
The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) became a legal entity on 1st July 2022, replacing the previous Hertfordshire and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups. The organisation is in its early stages and is forming its commissioning and procurement strategies. It is the intention of the HWE ICB to undertake a full commissioning review of its services across the area. To procure services at this stage would risk destabilisation and misalignment to the wider strategy. This short-term extension will allow the HWE ICB time to ensure that a robust strategic review is undertaken which will inform the longer-term decision on how these services will be delivered in future for the benefit of our patients, and avoid unnecessary costs.
