The procurement stage is in the tender phase, with an active status. The contracting authority aims to award an 84-month contract to Arch CIC for service provision, citing security and stability reasons due to limited market interest. The deadline for expressions of interest is 3rd October 2022 at Noon. This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the health and social work services sector to engage with NHS Sussex ICB in delivering a critical service for the homeless. Companies with expertise in providing long-term, high-quality services with limited market interest would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The direct award to Arch CIC offers an opportunity for business growth through a stable, extended contract period, enabling deeper engagement with the provider for strategic service development. ## Notice NHS Sussex ICB intend to award a contract to Arch CIC following engagement with providers. The current contract with Arch CIC is due to expire on 31st March 2023. This justification relating to the direct award of this 84-month contract will cover security and stability of provision for a service in a market with limited provider interest. The current contract was awarded by NHS Brighton and Hove CCG (now NHS Sussex ICB) following the publication of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) as a Call for Competition on 023488-2021 (Ref number). This interim arrangement was put in place to enable service continuity whilst the CCG took time to build a better understanding of the potential market interest in providing the service in the longer term. Subsequent to the publication of this PIN an RFI was issued to seek interest, with the incumbent being the only provider to respond. In order for Sussex ICB to deliver against this agenda, the ICB intends to direct award (effectively extending the existing contract) to Arch CIC. The rationale and evidence to support this decision is contained in the section below. The extension will be for a period of 84 months from 1st April 2023. The direct award will satisfy secure high quality, safe, effective, and efficient provision of a difficult to procure service with limited market interest. The stability of the service via a longer-term award will enable greater engagement from the provider in partnership discussions for the strategic development of the service and interactions with other related services. For those willing to express an interest must do so before 3rd October, 2022 at Noon.
