On 29th December 2023, the Authority published a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) (Reference: 2023/S 000-038026) to inform the market of its intention to award the contract. The Authority applied a voluntary 10-day standstill period prior to conclusion of the contract. The contract award is made to East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) for the provision of Admission Avoidance Response Car (HAARC) services across Hertfordshire and West Essex. The new contract is intended to begin on 1st April 2024 and end on 31st March 2025 with the option to extend for a further 12 months. The value of the new contract is £630,121 (excl. VAT) with a maximum cumulative value of £1,260,242. The service has been in place since 1st April 2019 and has a total cumulative value of £2,889,498 (excluding the value of this new contract). This service has an MDT approach with the ICBs Care home Improvement Team working alongside the HAARC Service / Specialist paramedic team to ensure the ICB reduces the number of admissions and attendances from care homes across South and West Hertfordshire. This is a specialised service which is only available from ambulance Trusts. This is a short-term arrangement with our incumbent provider which will allow the ICB time to review the service and understand future commissioning intentions. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** Hertfordshire Admission Avoidance Response Car (HAARC) (active) - Award id: `003370-2024-1` - Supplier(s): **East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-101560` - Value: £1,260,242 † (exc.
