        "description": "This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act Regulations 2023 do not apply to this award.\nThe service case manages and reviews patients funded by the ICB to ensure patient safety, effectiveness and both clinical and financial benefit; this includes the negotiation and establishment of Personal Health Budgets (PHBs) where appropriate and where guided, and adherence to the ICB's governance and sign off processes.  The service also delivers a brokerage service for care packages using a mixture of established provider frameworks and spot purchase providers, whilst supporting patient choice and personalisation agenda.\nThe ICB has made this award under urgent circumstances to mitigate disruption to the existing service and impact on staff and patient care, whilst it mobilises its commissioning intentions to in-house the service from 01st January 2026. The urgency has been in response to unforeseen delays in approving the commissioning intentions at a national level, which was anticipated to align with the contract end date of the 31st March 2025. An urgent award has been put in place with the incumbent provider to ensure continuity of provision during this transition period of in-housing the service to the ICB. A 9-month Award has been offered to support the mobilisation of these services within the ICB and support an exit plan to the in-housed service. \nThe total value of this award for a period of 9 months (from 01st April 2025 to 31st December 2025) is £4,133,360.  This Award has been made to ensure continuity of provision, whilst the ICB in-houses the service, from 01st January 2026.",
