Procurement Information

The 24-month contract is to allow the Commissioners to review and remodel the service specification that will complement the delivery and integration of urgent care service currently commissioned and in order to clearly articulate future requirements in the light of changes to commissioning infrastructure and delivery of extended and enhanced access to primary medical services. Commissioners are confident that an award of a new contract to a single provider without advertisement is justified and are satisfied that at this point in time the overall contract is capable of being provided only by that provider. The Commissioner's guiding principles being: * the requirement to commission services from those providers that are most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and improving the quality and efficiency of services, and that provide the best value for money in doing so. * the requirement to consider appropriate means of improving NHS health care services. The Commissioner is undertaking a detailed review of the provision of these services in its local area to understand how those services can be improved and, as part of that review, identified that the most capable provider of those services at this point in time and for the foreseeable future is the current provider. The review has included an assessment to determine past and current performance, capability and capacity for the provider to deliver the future requirements of the contract. In the context of the review undertaken and ongoing into what needs to change, the Commissioner has been able to identify with reasonable certainty that it is the incumbent provider that is capable of providing the contract (or that is capable of developing the capacity/infrastructure to do so) and to determine the incumbent provider is most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and of improving services, and represent best value for money for the 24-month contract period required from 1st April 2024.
