## Summary

The NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, on behalf of NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, is initiating a procurement process for GP services at Farrier House Surgery, located in Worcester. This contract, valued at approximately £4,424,000, is being awarded directly to SW Healthcare Ltd as of 13th August 2021, following a successful collaboration that began with a competitive procurement in 2015. The contract will start on 1st April 2022 and is intended to run for five years with a possibility of a two-year extension, aligning with the ongoing efforts to manage patient care effectively amidst the post-pandemic recovery phase.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in primary care services and integrated patient pathways. Companies well-equipped to provide general medical services, enhance patient engagement, and meet specific performance indicators in vaccination programmes will find themselves in a particularly strong position. As the focus shifts towards seamless patient care post-COVID-19, organisations capable of ensuring continuity and quality in healthcare delivery will be essential partners for the commissioning group during this transformative period.

The CCG is looking to award a contract for GP Services Farrier House, based in Worcester to SW Healthcare. SW Healthcare is a Federation of GP Surgeries based in Worcestershire. It is seeking to directly award this contract under Regulation 32 (b) (ii) where competition is unlikely to be financially viable and changing provider at this crucial time in post-pandemic recovery period would be disruptive to patient pathways and not in the patients' interests.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The current registered population for Farrier House Surgery includes a large proportion of university students. It is seeking to do a Direct Award under Regulation 32 (b) (ii) where competition is unlikely to be financially viable and changing provider at this crucial time in post-pandemic recovery period would be disruptive to patient pathways and not in the patients' interests. The CCG is therefore looking to Directly award a contract to SW Healthcare for a period of Five years with an option to extend for a period of 24 months which constitutes an estimated contract value of around PS4,424,000.

### Procurement Information

Under the NHS Long Term Plan Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are working towards a model of more integrated care within Primary Care alongside PCN and GP organisations. This model is still being developed in Herefordshire & Worcestershire. In the light of the current Covid 19 emergency situation, the focus of work is centred around post pandemic recovery. It would be unduly disruptive to the continuity of services for patients and cause substantial duplication of costs for the CCG to undertake a further procurement process at this point in time. It has become necessary therefore for the CCG, under Regulation 32 (b) (ii) to directly award a contract to SW Healthcare to ensure continuity and integrity of pathways during the next few years in post-pandemic recovery and during a period of immense change due to the development of new integrated pathways within the GP and PCN arena in Primary Care. Regulation 32 (b) (ii) states..>"where competition is absent for technical reasons..."The CCG does not feel that competition for this service exists at a viable financial level. The Fall-out from the pandemic emergency has now changed to post pandemic recovery efforts and this requires a focus on crucial resources to regain pre-pandemic levels of service and care. To change provider and pathways at this point would not be in the patients' interests.
