The formal procurement process was unsuccessful, leading BNSSG CCG to establish that a direct award with the incumbent provider, Pier Health Group Limited, is necessary to ensure the continuation of vital primary care services to the relevant population. The CCG is now awarding services to the aforementioned provider under an APMS contract that will run from 01/06/2021 to 31/05/2025. In line with agreement reached at the CCG's Primary Care Commissioning Committee, this is a period sufficient in length to stabilise the services and to establish long-term arrangements. The award value is PS2,782,223 (Est) + Additional Role Reimbursement Scheme revenue. Pier Health Group benefits from strong existing relationships, knowledge and experience. It is the only reasonable option for delivering the service for a limited period of time and for ensuring service users receive continuity of care.

This approach additionally enables continued integration of local services, improved use of public funds and the release significant benefits to patients. As a result of all of the material factors noted above, the Negotiated procedure without prior publication has been followed and justified under regulations 32(2)(a) and 32(2)(b)(ii).
