Lot 2, covering Buckinghamshire, has been awarded to Carehome Selection Limited for an initial 6-month contract term worth £220,000 with options for extension. The contract commenced on 14th August 2023. The procurement was managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of the Commissioner, and the services fall within the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents an opportunity for healthcare service providers, particularly those specialising in CHC assessments, to compete for contracts in Lot 2 for Buckinghamshire. The contracts offer a chance for business expansion and collaboration with the public sector. Due to the contract's initial term and potential extensions, businesses with a strong capacity to deliver CHC services in Buckinghamshire are well-suited to participate and potentially grow their client base through this procurement opportunity. ## Notice Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (the 'ICB') historically had a mixed Continuing Healthcare (CHC) operating model, with the Berkshire West CHC Service managed in house by the ICB whilst Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire CHC Services were managed by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust as an outsourced function. Following the cessation of the normal CHC functions during the peak of Covid-19 a backlog of CHC and Funded Nursing Care (FNC) reviews has built up. In view of this, the ICB sought to commission additional external support to help reduce the backlog of reviews within the Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire CHC Services. This procurement was split into two Lots by area. The contract has been awarded to UB Healthcare Ltd for Lot 1 (Oxfordshire). The total value of the contract for Lot 1 is PS124,900 for the initial 4 month contract term, with a maximum contract value of PS124,900 including the optional 2 month extension. The contract has been awarded to Carehome Selection Limited for Lot 2 (Buckinghamshire). The total value of the contract for Lot 2 is PS220,000 for the initial 6 month contract term, with a maximum contract value of PS220,000 including the optional 4 month extension. Both services commenced on 14th August 2023. This procurement was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77). The contract value of this procurement is under the Light Touch Regime threshold and therefore the rules of this Regime do not apply. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e251336-006b-49f7-86e6-c7218e7dbdc0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 13 Aug 2023 - 13 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £220,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £344,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SOUTH, CENTRAL AND WEST COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | OXFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX4 6LB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Oxford | | Electoral ward | Littlemore | | Westminster constituency | Oxford East | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | CAREHOME SELECTION; UB HEALTHCARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 12 Sep 2023 at 07:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e251336-006b-49f7-86e6-c7218e7dbdc0 - 12 Sep 2023 at 06:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd39df68-54e2-4863-8ace-2ddc29f7220d - 13 Apr 2023 at 09:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69f0d4dd-1813-410d-a375-88caf197bbb7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e251336-006b-49f7-86e6-c7218e7dbdc0 12th September 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd39df68-54e2-4863-8ace-2ddc29f7220d 12th September 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/69f0d4dd-1813-410d-a375-88caf197bbb7 13th April 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://bobicb.nhs.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
