This contract began on 1st April 2023 and is due to expire on 31st March 2024. HWE ICB are now intending to award a further contract to NOW to continue to deliver the services.

Procurement Information
In February 2023 a procurement process was undertaken in line with the Public Contract Regulations. This procurement process was unsuccessful and no contract was awarded. The incumbent provider, NOW, have been delivering the service under emergency arrangements to ensure continuity of service whilst the collaborative partnership agreed the next steps. The service delivered by NOW is delivering an excellent service for our children & young people and their families. The market has not moved since the procurement process was undertaken. Therefore, it is felt that it would not be the best use of public funding to conduct a further procurement process which will likely achieve the same outcome.
