## Summary

North Somerset Council has awarded contracts under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, specifically for health care services, including End of Life and Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funded contracts. The procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023. The contracts span from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with a total value of £1.5 million. This contract award notice confirms the direct award process to several strategic health care providers in the region of UKK12 (Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset) based on patient choice and best interests.

This procurement process represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health care services, particularly those able to provide complex or specific care tailored to existing service users. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health services sector can thrive under these arrangements, promoting collaborative working and streamlined domiciliary/health care services. Strategic providers, such as iCAPS Enterprises Ltd and Global Access Limited, are well-suited to compete, thus enhancing growth and service delivery in health care within North Somerset and surrounding areas.

## Notice

North Somerset Council commissions health care services (End of Life and CHC) on behalf of the local ICB. This promotes collaborative working and streamlined domiciliary/health care services.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

North Somerset Council commissions health care services (End of Life and CHC) on behalf of the local ICB. This promotes collaborative working and streamlined social/health care services. North Somerset Council has contracts with strategic providers, procured under the PCR2015 in 2023 for the delivery of Domiciliary Care Services which includes End of Life and CHC provision. In the majority of cases any health care requirements will be picked up by the NSC strategic providers. The health care element is a small part of the overall domiciliary care contracts and therefore the mixed procurement definition applies and the PSR regulations do not apply. In some instances, for reasons of patient choice and/or in the best interests of the patient/service user, a different provider was requested to deliver the health service. This could be because the patient was already receiving services from the provider as part of a private package, for example, or because the care is so complex or specific there is only one provider available locally who is able to deliver the care required. In these instances only, the Provider Selection Regime is being used to directly award a contract to the chosen provider, as the provision is for health care services only. NSC will not be able to use the providers to deliver any services other than health care services. NSC has no other mechanism to contract with these providers following the termination of a domiciliary care framework agreement on 31/3/25. The providers included in this award were previously approved on the old domiciliary care framework agreement to deliver health care services. The providers will still be delivering services to the existing service users and amendments to packages may be required, it would not be appropriate to transfer services to the NSC lead or tier 2 providers following a best interests decision or patient choice. This is a contract award via Direct Award Process A of the Provider Selection Regime for reasons of patient choice/best interests as these are the only providers capable of delivering the services to their existing service users in these situations. Contract term: 1/4/25 - 31/3/27 Overall contract value: PS1.5m
