                "description": "This purpose of this notice is to invite suitably qualified providers to submit offers to deliver Integrated MSK Services within South & West Hertfordshire. The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) was established on 1st July 2022 and serves a population of approximately 1.6m. The Authority works closely with its system partners to improve the health and wellbeing of our local communities. Services can be commissioned at 'place' level or across the wider ICB. The service will be commissioned across South and West Hertfordshire place (previously the area covered by Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group). The community iMSK service aims to improve, support, manage and coordinate MSK needs and conditions delivered across primary and community care, but with access to expertise in secondary care for advice, collaboration and onward referral when required. The objectives of the proposed service are: * Provide a General Practice-based Service (wherever the General Practice estate allows), directly accessible to GPs in their practices. * Improve the MSK health of the South and West Herts population by delivering support and education events. * Promote prevention of MSK conditions, self-care/management, and support both patients and clinicians to make an informed decision in respect of treatment options. * Measurably improve: o Patient outcomes - for non-surgical interventions. o Patient experience. o Shared Decision Making. o Self-care. The full scope of services can be found within the specification contained within the Invitation to Tender pack within the named eTendering Portal. Potential providers should note that The Authority may wish to introduce additional services and / or expand the scope of the services during the lifetime of the contract (\"Contract modification(s)\"). Such contract modifications will be contemplated where additional requirements are similar and or complementary to the services already included in the Specification, at any given time. Such expansion would be by the addition of services commissioned by the Authority and / or other Contracting Authorities, as named in the Contract Notice. To this end, the Bidder should be aware that after the award of contract, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract to include delivery of the services into the other 'places' within the boundary of The Authority, specifically West Essex place and/or East and North Hertfordshire place (as set out in the map provided within the procurement documents) in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The value contained within this Notice is the aggregate value which is inclusive of all potential options and extensions. The value of the contract being offered for the scope of services identified within the initial tender for the 5-year contract period is PS25,000,000 (excluding VAT). This is the value by which the price evaluation will be undertaken. (The aggregate value of the contract (including extensions) is PS35,000,000 (excluding VAT). Additional information: The scope of the services fall within Section 7 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 etc.). Neither the inclusion of the Bidder selection stage nor the use of the terms Invitation to Tender shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold themselves bound by any of the Regulations save those applicable to Schedule 3 of the Regulations.",

Such contract modifications will be contemplated where additional requirements are similar and or complementary to the services already included in the Specification, at any given time. Such expansion would be by the addition of services commissioned by the Authority and / or other Contracting Authorities, as named in the Contract Notice. To this end, the Bidder should be aware that after the award of contract, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation to the contract to include delivery of the services into the other 'places' within the boundary of The Authority, specifically West Essex place and/or East and North Hertfordshire place (as set out in the map provided within the procurement documents) in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The Authority confirms that 'delivery of the services into the other 'places' within the boundary of the Authority, specifically West Essex place and/or East and North Hertfordshire place' means the delivery of all, or part of, the services described in the iMSK specification. The Herts and West Essex Integrated Care Board was incorporated on 1st July 2022. This brought together West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group and East & North Herts Clinical Commissioning Group into a single organisation. As such, the HWE ICB is continuing to form and to organise its services in the best way to meet the needs of its patient population. Currently, there are no plans to expand the services into the West Essex place and/or East and North Hertfordshire place. The intention of including this is to create flexibility for the ICB to create a consistent service for its patients across all of its geographical areas if this is desired at a later date. Any decision to do so will be made in consultation with all key stakeholders, in consideration of existing contractual requirements within each of the 'places', and in accordance with the Procurement Regulations. Any variation to the new contract will be dealt with between the incumbent provider and the Authority in line with the NHS Standard Contract Particulars in accordance with GC13 (variations). Bidders are referred to the draft Contract Terms and Conditions regarding how commissioners will manage such matters should they arise, which are available within the procurement documents to all Bidders. Commissioners to not guarantee or grant any exclusivity in relation to any such service expansion during the life of the contract. The Notice also provided the estimate total value of PS35m (including all options and extensions). This potential estimated total value has been increased, taking into consideration the aforementioned potential options to extend the services across each 'place', to reflect a potential upper maximum contractual value of PS100,000,000 over the aggregate term of the contract. The total value of the contract being offered for the scope of the services identified within the initial tender for the 5-year contract period continues to be PS25,000,000 (exclusive of VAT). This is the value by which the price evaluation will be undertaken (the aggregate value of the contract (including all potential options and extensions is up to PS100,000,000 excluding VAT)."
