This contract forms part of the F092 All Age Continuing Care Services Framework, and the current modification entails an extension of the contract term by six months, concluding on 6th February 2027. This change comes as a response to the restructuring of Integrated Care Boards within Essex, effective from 1st April 2026. The procurement stage is at the award update, and the contract modification applies from 9th March 2026, with an amended value increase of £64,000 excluding VAT, addressing the needs across the Essex region, including West and North East Essex. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those adept at handling continuing care and appeal processes. The extension of the contract and its increased value offer room for businesses with expertise in health services to expand their footprint and clientele in the Essex region. Organisations with a solid track record in dealing with similar frameworks and deliverables related to Integrated Care Boards are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for growth, especially with the additional £64,000 in funding. Companies like Carehome Selection Limited, trading as XYLA, which is already participating as a supplier, may find further avenues to bolster their services and increase their engagement in this evolving health landscape within Essex. ### Lot Information All Age Continuing Care Services/ Provision of Retrospective Reviews and Appeals in Mid and South Essex Background The provision of Retrospective Reviews and Appeals service in Mid and South Essex was commissioned by Mid and South Essex ICB via on 28th July 2025, via a call-off from the F092 All Age Continuing Care Services Framework.
