## Summary

The NHS City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is conducting a procurement process for the "PRJ-997 City and Hackney CCG Psychological Therapies Alliance" project, aimed at enhancing access to mental health services within the health and social work industry category. This procurement is currently in the Award stage and is set to benefit residents of the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London. A total funding of £83,907 has been allocated for the 2021/22 period. Notably, the contract associated with this process has been signed on 4th January 2021, and a six-month extension is in place due to an upcoming merger of the CCG with six other CCGs, effective from 1st April 2021, necessitating continuity during this transition.

This procurement opportunity presents significant avenues for business growth, particularly for organisations that provide integrated health and social care services. Companies specialising in mental health services, especially those with experience in partnership models involving local health authorities and community organisations, will find this tender particularly relevant. The collaboration with the NHS Trust aims to foster an integrated care approach, thus, businesses adept at delivering patient-centred services and able to demonstrate strong local ties will be well-positioned to compete effectively in this ongoing procurement landscape.

## Notice

This is an alliance contract which was set between volunteer sector and NHS Trusts and is intended to increase access to an integrated patient-centred service for the improvement of the wellbeing of the 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.

### 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.
