Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Essex Integrated Care Board has recently updated the procurement process for the "Commisceo" contract focusing on health services. This contract concerns the management of outbreaks and incidents for residents in Hertfordshire and West Essex, categorised under health services (CPV code: 85100000). The process has reached the 'Award' stage under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, which supersedes the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for this award. The contract was awarded on 4th June 2026 and is valid from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a potential extension of 12 months. The direct award process involved a standstill period from 30th March 2026 to 13th April 2026, ensuring compliance and transparency.

This project provides significant opportunities for companies operating within the health services sector, especially those adept at managing healthcare incident responses within local communities. Given the direct award process to an existing provider, businesses with robust existing service models and an ability to quickly adapt to regional healthcare needs will likely be well-positioned to compete in future similar procurement processes. Organisations with a focus on integrating services and demonstrating value through collaboration and innovation will find this type of contract an ideal platform for growth, particularly within the strategic health service provisions in the UK.

Management of outbreaks and incidents in Hertfordshire and West Essex.
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 12 month extension contract is a cost and volume model. Should the optional extension be enacted the lifetime value of this contract is circa PS215,184.
The contract will be from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. If the 12 month extension is enacted, the expiry date will be adjusted accordingly. 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.
