NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide a Community MSK Physiotherapy Service in Surrey Heath Patient population covered is that of patients registered with a GP in Surrey Heath place. Referrals are primarily via GP but also from the 'Advanced MSK/Diagnostic Uncertainty' community service. The focus of the service is to prioritise conditions where there is high risk of long-term disability where early intervention reduces this risk. Frimley ICB has followed PSR Direct Award C for the contract to which this notice relates. The Commissioner is directly awarding a contract to the existing provider Ascenti Physio Limited under PSR Direct Award C in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (9) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The total expected value of the contract for the initial one-year contract term is PS694,824. The optional one-year extension expected value of the contract is PS698,993. Therefore, the full expected lifetime contract value (one year + optional one year extension) is PS1,393,817. The one-year contract period will commence on the 1 November 2024. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Additional information: Evidence that Ascenti Physio Limited have satisfied the existing contract to a sufficient standard according to the detail outlined in the contract: they provided all of the required documentation, information and policies for the existing contract. They have followed the contractual service specification, not deviated from Frimley ICB Safeguarding requirements, charged the correct local prices as per the contract, issued invoices correctly in accordance with the Frimley ICB process, complied with Quality reporting requirements, and followed Schedule 6A reporting requirements. They have complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable NHS Standard Contract (Shorter Form) Service Conditions, including Service Conditions in relation to the following: service standards, co-operation, information requirements, safeguarding, payment terms and quality requirements. They have also complied with/not fallen foul of the applicable shorter Form General Conditions, including those relating to liability & indemnity, assignment & sub-contracting, and Information Governance. The new contracting arrangements are based on a rollover of the previous contracting arrangements/schedules which the provider has already satisfied/complied with to a high standard, and so the provider will highly be likely to be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.

Options: Optional extension of 1 further year
