Lot Information
Lot 1
The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Paragraph 10 - The Most Suitable Provider Process has been used to procure this service. This is a notice to inform the market of the intention to award a contract for NHS Lung Health Checks (exc. CT Scan) for North East Essex, Ipswich and East Suffolk and West Suffolk localities to GP Primary Choice Ltd. This is a new contract for an existing service to be delivered by an existing provider of this service. The Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) programme commenced in 2019 as part of the NHS Long Term Plan (Jan 2019). The primary aim of the programme is to deliver Lung Health Checks to populations with the highest risk of developing lung cancer in order to identify lung cancer at an earlier stage. The initial phases of the TLHC programme have targeted populations where there are high levels of smoking, deprivation, and poor lung cancer outcomes. In practice this aligns with the Core 20 populations. Checks are offered to patients aged 55-74 who are current or ex-smokers. At the check their risk of Lung cancer is assessed and patients who are at high risk of Lung Cancer are offered a Low Dose CT scan. For clarity the provision of the Low Dose CT scan does not form part of this opportunity. GP Primary Choice are currently delivering the service well and the benefits of retaining the existing provider are considerable. GP Primary Choice may also work with Suffolk GP Federation within Suffolk. The benefits include, but are not limited to, existing provision, strong existing relationships with GPs which are difficult to replicate, sustainable providers, access to SystmOne and working knowledge of the localities and the systems supporting the populations. The contract will be awarded with an initial contract term of 2 years and 6 months (30 months) and a potential extension period of up to 2 years (24 months), maximum term of 54 months (the "Proposed Contract"). The total aggregated value of contract will be approximately PS2,381,840. An annual value is not possible for this contract due to the need to roll out the testing and ramp up delivery. The contract value will be subject to annual inflation/deflation at national NHS rates as prescribed in NHS Payment Scheme guidance. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
Options: The contract will be awarded with an initial contract term of 2 years and 6 months (30 months) and a potential extension period of up to 2 years (24 months), maximum term of 54 months (the "Proposed Contract").

"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 12th September 2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. An F01: Prior information notice was published 9 July 2024, 4:53pm - Notice reference: 2024/S 000-020968 Award decision-makers - NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Executive Committee - No conflicts of interest were declared. As described in the Provider Selection Regime statutory guidance the Most Suitable Provider process is undertaken when the ICB believes it is able to identify the most suitable provider without undertaking a competitive exercise. The process is designed to allow the ICB to make an assessment on which provider is most suitable to deliver the proposed contracting arrangements based on a consideration of the key criteria, the basic selection criteria and taking into account all relevant information available to it at the time, which included knowledge of the existing provision, benchmarking data, risks of change and the costs and benefits of existing and potential arrangements. The numerical assessment of whether a provider can deliver a comparable service is only one part of the evaluation process and the ICB reviewed this in conjunction with benchmarking data, market intelligence, the wider system impacts and the impact upon existing and future service users and staff (including those working for subcontracted partner organisations). The Oversight Group believed that the service currently delivered and planned by GP Primary Choice Ltd was at least comparable to other offers within the market and that other offers would not generate additional benefit, therefore negating the risks which are likely, in the opinion of the oversight group, to be experienced by the North east Essex, Ipswich and east Suffolk and west Suffolk populations were a change of provider to occur. It was felt by the project group that other offers available within the wider market would not offer enough potential benefits to outweigh the potential risks and costs associated with moving the service away from GP Primary Choice Ltd. The ICB retains the belief that GP Primary Choice Ltd is the most suitable provider for this service within the North east Essex, Ipswich and east Suffolk and west Suffolk.",
