This contract, valued at approximately £57.9 million, is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the tender process. The contract began on 1st October 2022 and is set for a duration of 18 months. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, owing to the necessity of continuity in service delivery during the recovery phase from the Covid pandemic. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those that specialise in community health, nursing, and rehabilitation services. Companies that can effectively enhance service integration and improve patient care delivery may find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The incumbent provider, Locala Community Partnerships CIC, will be focusing on engaging subcontractors to fulfil the contract's requirements, creating additional avenues for collaboration and growth in the industry. ## Notice The contract for Kirklees Community Services (Care Close to Home) covers a wide range of community-based services delivered to the population of Kirklees. The contract is based on a lead provider model with the contract holder being responsible to either provide the services directly or in collaboration with other providers of services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract for Kirklees Community Services (Care Close to Home) covers a wide range of community-based services, the scope of contract currently includes: District Nursing; Community Matron (Ageing Well); Long Term Conditions; Adult Therapy Services; Discharge to Assess services; Intermediate Care Beds; Diabetes and associated services; Care Home Support services; Continence services; Tissue Viability services; Podiatry services; Respiratory/COPD services; TB services; End of Life services; Dermatology services (Greater Huddersfield); MSK services (Greater Huddersfield). Following a review of the services within the scope of the contract the commissioner is clear that further development of the way in which these services are delivered in an integrated way is required. This development has been delayed due to the system's response to the Covid pandemic. It is recognised that this development will extend past 1st October 2022. This is a VEAT notice for the direct award of contract of 18 months to the incumbent provider. ### Procurement Information The Commissioner considers that the requirement to further review and develop services within the scope of the contract over the next 12 to 18 months requires a direct award of contract to the incumbent provider. This is based on the Commissioner determining at this time that the contract for the period specified can be supplied only by a particular economic operator, the incumbent provider. Commissioners are confident that an award of a new contract to a single provider without advertisement is justified and are satisfied that the overall contract is capable of being provided only by that provider. The Commissioner's guiding principles being: * the requirement to commission services from those providers that are most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and improving the quality and efficiency of services, and that provide the best value for money in doing so. * the requirement to consider appropriate means of improving NHS health care services. The Commissioner has carried out a detailed review of the provision of particular services in its local area in order to understand how those services can be improved and, as part of that review, identified the most capable provider or providers of those services in the interim. In the context of the review undertaken and the recommendations derived from a collaborative approach to what needs to change, the Commissioner has been able to identify with reasonable certainty that it is the incumbent provider that is capable of providing the contract (or that is capable of developing the capacity/infrastructure to do so) and to determine the incumbent provider is most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and of improving services, and represent best value for money for the contract period required from 1st October 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020576-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £57,918,757 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WEST YORKSHIRE | | Locality | HUDDERSFIELD | | Post town | Huddersfield | | Postcode | HD1 2LR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE44 Calderdale and Kirklees | | Local authority | Kirklees | | Electoral ward | Newsome | | Westminster constituency | Huddersfield | | Delivery location | TLE4 West Yorkshire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LOCALA COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 28 Jul 2022 at 09:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020576-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://Locala.org.uk - https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/courts/royal-courts-of-justice - https://www.wypartnership.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
