## Summary

The NHS City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "PRJ-996 City and Hackney CCG Primary Care Mental Health Alliance", which focuses on the provision of health and social work services specifically related to mental health care. This procurement is located in the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London. The procurement stage is complete, with an active contract awarded on 4th January 2021, valued at £48,063 and intended to deliver services until the end of the six-month extension period in September 2021. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, due to a merger of the CCG with several others, aiming for continuity in service delivery during the transition to the new organisation, North East London CCG.

This tender presents an opportune moment for businesses engaged in mental health services and related healthcare sectors, especially those already integrated with local health and social organisations. Companies that can demonstrate the ability to deliver holistic care in alignment with the NHS’s strategic priorities, particularly under the recovery model and increasing access standards, will be well-positioned to compete. The CCG’s commitment to continuity suggests that those familiar with the existing client base and operational environment will have a competitive advantage, enhancing prospects for growth in this evolving regional healthcare landscape.

## 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.
