Minor Injuries Service;
Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB are intending to award a contract to an existing provider following direct award process C;
This one year contract with optional extension of up to 12 months is a cost and volume model. Should the optional extension for Hertfordshire be enacted the lifetime value of this contract would be up to circa PS2,426,694. The lifetime value for West Essex would be up to circa PS598,354.
The contract will be from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. If the optional extension is enacted, the expiry date will change in line with the number of months extended. Additional information: There are anticipated system changes affecting Integrated Care Board (ICB) structures. Under section 14Z28 of the Health and Social Care Act, NHS England may make transfer schemes in connection with the variation of the constitution of an ICB, or the abolition of an ICB.
HWE ICB will be changed by the implementation of ICB mergers and boundary changes, taking effect on
1 April 2026 and April 2027, which is being led by NHS England (NHSE), who will exercise its power (14Z28) to vary or revoke the Establishment Order, thereby abolishing or establishing ICBs or changing
the boundaries of existing ICBs.
Options: The one year contract will have an option to extend by up to 12 months. This will be decided by the ICB in due course.
