| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition |
| Method Rationale: | This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to 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. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 9th October 2024 (8 working days following publication of intention to award notice). They should be submitted in writing to procurement@snee.nhs.uk. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Awarding Committee: Suffolk and North East Essex ICB Board No conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, were declared by any decision makes. The decision to award this contract in line with Direct Award Process C was based on evaluation against the five required key criteria as follows: • Quality and Innovation - Not Assured - There are some performance struggles with some of the contractual KPIs; however, providers nationally are struggling to achieve many of the metrics. An Action Plan has been put in place to cover clinical outputs and performance timeliness including but not exclusively reducing ambulance and ED dispatches more in line with national average, increasing calls dealt with by advice, improving 111 online call backs and timeliness of clinical inputs. It is anticipated that the action plan will lead to improvement in the contractual KPIs and therefore assurance levels. • Value - Part Assured - elements of the provider's service delivers value for money. However, delivery against the core contract shows poor attainment of KPIs in the context of lower-than-commissioned activity levels. This however is against a national context of services struggling and the cost impact of procuring a new service. The action plan will lead to improvement in the contractual KPIs and therefore assurance levels. • Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - Assured - The provider is noted for their excellent collaborative approach within the system. • Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice - Assured - The Equality Impact Assessment demonstrates the broadly positive impact IUC services have on ensuring equality of access for patients. • Social Value - Assured - SNEE ICB are assured that the provider is delivering in line with the SNEE Green Plan. The provider's service offers clear and defined benefits, both in terms of environmental and social values. |
