Source:	Find a Tender Service (FTS)
Notice Type:	Award notice
Buyer:	NHS Essex Integrated Care Board
Main Category:	Services
Procurement Method:	Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Method Rationale:	This notice is issued as a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The proposed award of this contract is made in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. Publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Providers wishing to make representations in relation to this intended award must do so by midnight on the 8th working day following publication of this notice. Representations must be submitted in writing to the named contact point within this notice. This contract has not yet been formally awarded; this notice sets out the Authority’s intention to award under the PSR, subject to the conclusion of the standstill period and consideration of any representations received. Award Decision-Makers: • Commissioning route options appraisal performed by the NEE Alliance Strategic Group • Direct Award recommendation agreed by the North East Essex Primary Care Commissioning Group • Final approval granted by the Joint Essex Executive Committee (includes NHS Essex Integrated Care Board). Conflicts of Interest: • No conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, were declared by any Decision Makers. Assessment against Key Criteria: The decision to award this contract in line with Direct Award Process C has been based on evaluation against the five required Key Criteria. The relative importance of the criteria reflects the need to ensure continuity, quality, integration, value, and system-wide sustainability in the delivery of these services. The rationale for the proposed award is set out below: • Quality and Innovation 20% – Assured The Authority is assured that the provider is delivering a safe and effective service in accordance with the current specification and contractual requirements. Performance in this area was reviewed in line with the Quality Impact Assessment. • Value 20% – Assured The Authority is satisfied that the provider continues to offer value to the integrated care system. The potential cost and disruption associated with changing provider are not justified when compared with the anticipated benefits, given the provider’s current performance. • Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability 20% – Assured The provider demonstrates effective integration and collaboration across the system, contributing positively to service sustainability. This is delivered both through contractual requirements and wider partnership activities. • Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 20% – Assured The provider is meeting population needs by supporting equitable access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating patient choice. This criterion was reviewed with reference to the Equality Impact Assessment. • Social Value 20% – Assured The provider is delivering in line with the SNEE Green Plan and contributes to carbon reduction initiatives and activities that improve wider determinants of health. Assessment of this criterion considered the Sustainability Impact Assessment. These assessments, taken collectively, confirm that the provider meets the requirements specified for a Direct Award Process C and is expected to continue satisfying the requirements of the new contract. Furthermore, the Decision Makers within NHS Essex Integrated Care Board have reviewed and considered in full the assessment previously undertaken by NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB. The Authority confirms that the Essex ICB Decision Makers are assured by, and in agreement with, the conclusions reached in that assessment. The findings provide the Authority with sufficient confidence that the incumbent provider continues to meet the required standards and remains capable of delivering the service in accordance with the proposed contract.
