Published requirement description

This is to inform the market of a contract awarded by NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board for community services to its incumbent provider Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT). On 17th March 2023, the Authority published a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) (Reference 2023/S 000-008400) to inform the market of its intention to award the contract. A corrigendum to that Notice was subsequently published on 22nd March 2023 (Reference 2023/S 000-008400). The Authority applied a voluntary 10-day standstill period prior to conclusion of the contract.

The contract started on 1st April 2023 for a period of 12 months, ending on 31st March 2024 with the option to extend for a further 12 months to 31st March 2025.

The contract has now concluded, the total value for 23-24 is £93,039,826 (exclusive of VAT). The maximum potential value of the contract, including the optional 12 month extension, is £200,000,000 (exclusive of VAT and accounting for any 24-25 inflationary uplift).

Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) became a legal entity on 1st July 2022,
replacing the previous Hertfordshire and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Groups. The organisation is
in its early stages and is forming its commissioning and procurement strategies. It is the intention of the
HWE ICB to undertake a full commissioning review of its services across the area. To procure services at
this stage would risk destabilisation and misalignment to the wider strategy. This short-term extension
will allow the HWE ICB time to ensure that a robust strategic review is undertaken which will inform the
longer-term decision on how these services will be delivered in future for the benefit of our patients, and
avoid unnecessary costs
