Community services - Hertfordshire & West Essex
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for community services in Hertfordshire and West Essex under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations. The contract, which falls under the health services category, will commence on 1st April 2025 and run until 31st March 2026, with an option for a one-year extension until 31st March 2027. The contract, valued at up to £97,400,000 per annum, was awarded through a direct award process (Process C) without prior publication of a call for competition.
The contract award date was 9th April 2025, following a standstill period from 13th March 2025 to 25th March 2025. The procurement process, classified as a limited procurement method, supports the strategic goals of the Integrated Care Board to provide high-quality health services in the UKH23 region. This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in community health services such as adult speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, frailty services, and more.
Contractual arrangements of this magnitude can significantly contribute to business growth, especially for companies capable of delivering high-quality, integrated, and sustainable health services. Enterprises with expertise in healthcare innovation, value delivery, and addressing health inequalities will be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Establishing a role in this provision could improve a company's market position and foster long-term relationships with the NHS and regional health authorities.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under 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.
This contract has now been formally awarded using direct award process C.
The contract award date is 9th April 2025, and the standstill period took place between 13th March 2025 and 25th March 2025.
The business case including the recommendation to award the contract under Provider Selection Regime Process C was approved by the ICB's Strategic Finance & Commissioning Committee on 9/1/25 and one potential conflict of interest was noted and mitigated. The contract will be for one year from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an optional one year extension until 31st March 2027. The maximum value of the new contract is PS97,400,000 per annum.
Should the optional extension be used, the maximum contract value for the 2-year period is PS194,800,000.
