Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board has issued a contract award for the Admissions Prevention and Early Discharge (APED) service under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR), in compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement falls in the category of community health services and is specifically tailored for Mid and South Essex. The contract, valued at £359,034, is set to span from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. This procurement process involved a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting a preference for retaining the existing provider who has satisfactorily delivered the services according to previous specifications, as advised by the Mid and South Essex ICB Executive Board.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for healthcare service providers, particularly those experienced in community health services. As the process favours a supplier well-versed in the existing contract requirements, businesses positioned to offer innovative solutions and robust performance under the stipulated conditions could significantly benefit. The emphasis on quality, alongside the retained provider's performance, suggests that organisations capable of illustrating comprehensive service delivery models stand in good stead to compete in similar future tenders. Businesses in the geographic vicinity of Mid and South Essex or those with strategic partnerships in the healthcare sector may find alignments beneficial to capitalise on this and analogous procurements.
