## Summary

NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group recently awarded a contract for Independent Sector Elective Care Services and Radiology Direct Access, valued at approximately £9,072,984, to BMI The Droitwich Spa Hospital. This decision comes as a response to the urgent need for additional capacity in routine elective care and radiology services following the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract commenced on 1st October 2021 and is set to run until 31st March 2023. The procurement process utilised a follow-on contract method, acknowledging the established connection with current service pathways to minimise disruption and optimise patient care in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and radiology sectors, particularly those with capabilities to provide outpatient and diagnostic services. Companies that specialise in delivering elective care, day case services, or those with experience in managing integrated care systems may find this an advantageous situation to expand their market presence. The extended contract duration also allows potential providers to contemplate future procurement possibilities as the local healthcare system adapts to post-pandemic recovery needs.

## Notice

NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group sought Independent Sector Providers to provide extra capacity for the local recovery of routine elective care services, and direct access to radiology, post covid-19. A contract was awarded to BMI The Droitwich Spa Hospital by NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group to provide NHS patients in the Clinical Commissioning Group's locality with a clinically safe and effective routine elective outpatient, day case, in-patient service, and direct access to a radiology diagnostic service, that is responsive to their needs. The UK Government's policy in response to covid-19 initially gave rise to a situation of extreme urgency brought about by unforeseeable events. Following this, it became vital for NHS organisations to build in extra capacity locally for the recovery of the routine elective care services and direct access to diagnostic services post covid-19. The award of this contract is a follow-on contract from previous arrangements, and so the necessary linkage with current pathways is already established locally to ensure minimum disruption to the patient whilst urgent catch-back on resources and capacity is established. The contract duration for this directly awarded contract was subject to detailed discussions by the contracting authority and it was agreed that a period of 18 months (from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2023) would be advisable to facilitate system stabilisation on a number of levels. This would allow the new structure of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Integrated Care System time to settle in; time for resources to be optimized post covid-19; and time to consider future potential procurement options within redesigned care pathways. The estimated value for this period of time is circa PS9,072,984.
