## Summary

The NHS City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has completed a procurement process titled "PRJ-995 City and Hackney CCG Primary Care Mental Health Alliance." This contract, valued at £45,000, falls under the health and social work services industry category and is focused on providing a range of mental health services at the primary care level for residents in the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition due to the ongoing merger of the CCGs, effective from 1 April 2021. The contract is set to extend for six months to ensure continuity during this transitional period, with the effective date of the award being 4 January 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those with expertise in mental health services. Organisations with established relationships and integration capabilities within the local healthcare system, especially those already engaging with the NHS or local community services, would be well-positioned to participate in future tenders as the newly formed North East London CCG evaluates its contracting options following the merger. The focus on continuity and integration makes it a prime opportunity for suppliers who can deliver holistic care and address strategic health priorities in the area.

## Notice

This alliance contract is set to provide a range of Mental Health services at Primary Care for the benefit of City and Hackney residents. City and Hackney CCG is undergoing a merger with 6 other CCGs on 1-Apr-2021 and is intending to issue a short extension (6 months) to all contracts expiring on 31-Mar-2021 to provide continuity during the merger. This is under regulation 72(b)(i) and 72(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because a change of contractor cannot be made for technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience for the CCG.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Primary Care Alliance work to address the STP strategic priorities through a supported self management using a recovery model in line with EPC model. This service is also set to increase access standards and care pathways which is set on the Five Year Forward View and improve the identification of Mental Health problems within Primary Care.

### Procurement Information

City & Hackney CCG is being merged with 6 other CCGs to form North East London CCG (NEL CCG) on 1-April-2021. To ensure smooth transition to NEL CCG the CCG is extending all contracts for 6 months where continuity of provider is deemed necessary. The CCG is publishing this notice to signal its intention to directly award a contract, on the grounds that continuing to use the original contractors is necessary during the merger for technical reasons and that changing contractor at this time would cause significant inconvenience to the CCG (PCR 2015, Reg 72(b)(i) and (b)(ii). While consideration has been given to the Coronavirus pandemic response 32(2)(c) is not being cited as the primary reason for the extension. The CCG believes that this supplier is already integrated with other services in East London, and has strong links with local health, social care, community and voluntary organisations. This enables it to deliver services in an integrated way and provide holistic care that meets the needs of local patients. The intended contract extension is for 6 months, to September 2021, and by that time NEL CCG will have been able to complete the merger process, understand where it has multiple contracts for the same services, and make decisions on competitive tendering options for future consolidated contracts as a new organisation.
