This contract award notice is made following the Authority's publication of the voluntary ex ante transparency notice (Notice Number: 2023/S 000-037631) on the 15th December 2023 which outlined the rationale and reasoning for the Authority's decision to award this contract, under Regulation 32 (2) (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ("PCR 2015") (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The Authority has taken the decision to award this management of infectious diseases outbreaks within Care Homes (including Flu Swabbing) to incumbent provider Commisceo. The provider is considered most technically capable of providing the most economically advantageous solution to the Authority under the current environment. The Authority is applying the NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions to support a combination of services, all of which are part funded under a single clinical contract, to ensure appropriate clinical governance and service delivery quality as well as consistency of service to patients. It is noted that this service is joint Commissioned by MSE ICB and SNEE ICB, the breakdown of costs are as follows: NHS MSE ICB: PS90,000 per annum NHS SNEE ICB: PS90,000 per annum Contract value from 01st April 24 - 31st March 27 (3 year period): PS540,000 Contract Value from 01st April 27 - 31st March 29 (2 year period): PS360,000 Total Aggregate Contract Value for 5 year term is PS900,000 The Authority has a duty to meet its statutory function which includes ensuring that appropriate, effective and safe service provision is in place for the management of infectious diseases outbreaks within Care Homes. The incumbent provider is considered the most technically capable of the delivery of this service. The Management of Outbreaks, including Flu, in Care Homes ensures the prevention, management of, and safety for all staff working within the care home and all persons, including vulnerable resident in care/nursing homes located within the geographical boundaries of MSE ICB and SNEE ICB. Failure to award this service and to ensure the continued safe and effective service delivery would result in the Authority failing to meet the statutory functions of the ICB. This is an unacceptable outcome to the Authority, in which the safety and care of staff, healthcare workers, persons within Care Homes and vulnerable patients and service users would be put in unacceptable risk. The Authority deem this contact to be made appropriately made due to the lack of alternative providers that are technically capable of meeting the service requirements to deliver the service within the current market environment.
Options: Option to extend for a further 24 months
