    "description": "This is an intention to award notice for a contract that is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 23. 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 to the Authority must be made using the contact details contained herein by midnight on 2nd October. The contract will be formally awarded upon standstill conclusion. On 130325 the ICB Board (the Decision Makers) approved the commencement of a competitive process, delegating the authority for the contract award decision to the MSK Procurement Project Board. The Authority identified four actual conflicts of interest (COI) relating to individuals on the ICBs Board because of the very nature of the 'Integrated Care System'. Such individuals recused themselves of any involvement in decision making / did not receive papers. Three potential COI from the ICBs Board were identified, investigated and considered no/low risk. These individuals took part in decision making and contributed to discussions/received papers. Four board members signed a non disclosure agreement, to ensure confidentiality. Only no/low risk potential COI were identified among the MSK Project Group and / or Evaluation Panel, numbering 22 instances across 16 individuals. Additionally potential COI were identified for all three compliant bidders and some proposed sub-contractors due to these providers being incumbents delivering the existing service and having participated in the previous and abandoned Most Suitable Provider Process. The Authority has recorded and implemented effective mitigations accordingly in each instance, full details of which cannot be detailed here due to the character restrictions within this Notice, but are available to any organisation/party requesting such information from amy.wilson@attain.gov.uk. An assessment process was undertaken against the published award criteria, and in consideration of the five Key Criteria (KC), to award the Proposed Contract based on the Authority's requirements. The total score achievable was 80% Technical and 20% Commercial. The five KC were linked to multiple tender questions which were weighted according to priority. The successful bidder (SB) submitted a compliant Tender Response, which passed all aspects of the PSQ (basic selection criteria). The SB went on to achieve the highest Weighted Technical Score (66.35%) for their Technical (Quality) Response, significantly exceeding the 48% Minimum Quality Pass Threshold. Additionally, the chosen provider scored the highest Commercial Score (20%) for their Commercial (Price) Response. The chosen provider achieved a Total Weighted Score of 86.35%, ranking 1st place and achieving the highest overall Total Score (quality & price) out of three compliant bidders. Key Criteria linked to tender questions: Service Delivery, Pathways and Transformation (9.5% weighting) - Value (V), Quality and Innovation (Q&I), Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (IA,RHI & FC), Integration and Collaboration and Service Sustainability (I&C&SS), Pain and Rheumatology pathways (6.4% weighting) Q&I, IA,RHI & FC, Patient Safety and Experience (8.0% weighting) Q&I, IA,RHI & FC, Patient Outcomes (8.0% weighting) Q&I, IA,RHI & FC, Financial assurance and sustainability (8.0% weighting) Q&I, V, I&C&SS, Workforce (5.6% weighting), Q&I, V, I&C&SS, Mobilisation (4.0% weighting) Q&I, V, I&C&SS, Stakeholder Collaboration (4.0% weighting) I&C&SS, Business Resilience and Service Continuity (4.0% weighting) Q&I, Digital IM&T & Reporting (8.0% weighting) Q&I, I&C&SS, IA,RHI & FC, Tackling inequality in the Contract Workforce (2.6% weighting) Social Value (SV), Improving community integration (2.6% weighting) SV, Improving health and wellbeing of the Contract Workforce (2.7% weighting) SV, Scenario 1 IA,RHI & FC, Scenario 2 IA,RHI & FC.",

Working with stakeholders since 2023, the Authority has developed a new community pathway for people aged 16 years+, based on the East of England Musculoskeletal (MSK) Pathway Improvement Framework, the Best MSK high impact recommendations and adhering to the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) pathway. This new model of care intends to provide integration across patient pathways, including Single Point of Access (SPoA), clinical triage, physiotherapy, orthopaedics, spinal, rheumatology, pain management, surgical interventions and therapies across MSE. It will assess and treat more patients outside of acute services and deliver improved outcomes, quality and patient experience of care. Estimated dates between which the service is intended to be provided: The Proposed Contract duration is five years from 1st February 2026 until 31st January 2031, with an option to extend for a further three years beyond the initial term, until 31st January 2034. Approximate lifetime value of the contract: At the point of publication of the PIN, the Authority proposed a cost and volume financial model (local prices) in line with national guidance. The potential aggregate contract value (incl. extension term, growth/inflation assumptions, and potential variations) was PS164,149,073 (excluding VAT). The financial envelope which acted as an affordability cap for the purposes of the competitive process was PS90,163,317 based on the initial 5-year contract term. The Proposed Contract for the first five years has been awarded at PS84,392,517.55. The Proposed Contract to be entered into by the Authority and the Preferred Bidder and a back to back version thereof with its proposed Sub-Contractor (both of which are existing providers of MSK Services in mid and south Essex), will be based on the NHS Standard Contract 2025/26 (full-length) and all subsequent variations thereof from time to time during the contract term.

Working with stakeholders since 2023, the Authority has developed a new community pathway for people aged 16 years+, based on the East of England Musculoskeletal (MSK) Pathway Improvement Framework, the Best MSK high impact recommendations and adhering to the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) pathway. This new model of care intends to provide integration across patient pathways, including Single Point of Access (SPoA), clinical triage, physiotherapy, orthopaedics, spinal, rheumatology, pain management, surgical interventions and therapies across MSE. It will assess and treat more patients outside of acute services and deliver improved outcomes, quality and patient experience of care. Estimated dates between which the service is intended to be provided: The Proposed Contract duration is five years from 2nd February 2026 until 1st February 2031, with an option to extend for a further three years beyond the initial term, until 1st February 2034. Approximate lifetime value of the contract: At the point of publication of this PIN, the Authority proposes a cost and volume financial model (local prices) in line with national guidance. The potential aggregate contract value (incl. extension term, growth/inflation assumptions, and potential variations) is 164,149,073 (excluding VAT). The financial envelope which will act as an affordability cap for the purposes of the competitive process will be PS90,163,317 based on the initial 5-year contract term. The Authority invites interested providers to attend a virtual engagement event, which will be broadcast via an Microsoft (MS) Teams Webinar on Monday 19th May 2025 at 1pm. Registration link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/5118f90d-255e-4c7c-9d49-a04338a7127b@b5fa915c-fcb7-43a5-a5ad-631d989f6e1d The purpose of the market engagement event includes gauging market interest in the contract opportunity, providing information about the requirement to all interested providers, providing an understanding of how the competitive process will work (i.e. the process for raising clarification questions, declaring conflicts of interest, timescales etc), creating an open forum to discuss challenges / risks associated with the opportunity and obtaining feedback including finding out what information potential bidders might require to submit compliant and meaningful tenders. There is currently no anticipated limit on the number of attendees per organisation that can register for the event. The ICB presentation will last for up to 30 mins, followed by a Q&A session for up to 30 minutes. The recording of the webinar will be available shortly after the event itself. All individuals who are interested in attending must register individually via the registration link provided, which will send a joining link by email to each individual. When attendees join the meeting their video and mic will be turned off by default, and names will be hidden from other participants, but not the Organisers. All questions need to be asked via the Q&A chat function which attendees will have access to throughout the meeting itself, but questions will not be reviewed and responded until the end of the presentation. Any queries regarding the market engagement event and or the future Competitive Process should be directed via the messaging facility in the Portal for project reference: sq_125 - Market Engagement Event - Integrated Community Musculoskeletal and Pain Service which can be accessed here: https://attain.bravosolution.co.uk/"
