Summary of the contracting process

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (SSOT ICB), represented by NHS Midlands & Lancashire (MLCSU), had intended to follow the Most Suitable Provider (MSP) process for the provision of All Age Continuing Care (AACC) Services in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, classified under CPV code 85100000 for health services. However, in October 2024, following advice from the NHS England Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel, the SSOT ICB decided to abandon the MSP procurement process for these services. Initially advertised in July 2024, the process aimed to award contracts without competitive tendering, but the existing contract will now be maintained until 31 March 2025. The procurement stage was abandoned, and the SSOT ICB will explore future options under the Provider Selection Regime 2023.

This procurement process had the potential to create business growth opportunities for healthcare providers capable of delivering community health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as large healthcare providers with experience in continuing care services, would have found this tender particularly suitable. The process emphasised key criteria such as quality, innovation, integration, collaboration, sustainability, and social value, making it an excellent opportunity for businesses with strong capabilities in these areas to secure a significant service contract. The indicative contract value was set at £2.93 million per annum, with a potential two-year extension, totalling a lifecycle value of approximately £14.66 million.
