What is being bought

Published requirement description

The National Health Service Commissioning Board (which uses the operational name ‘NHS England’) established a framework for clinical services titled Increasing Capacity Framework (ICF) under the light touch regime in November 2020.

As advertised in the original OJEU contract notice this framework agreement could be refreshed. This award notification is to advise of contract awards associated with refreshing the framework agreement.

The awarded clinical services under the Framework Agreement include:

  1. NHS inpatient and outpatient (including full supporting pathology and imaging) services and urgent elective care and cancer treatment to service users in line with nationally set criteria;
  2. NHS inpatient non-elective care (either direct admission or transfer from an NHS organisation).

The ICF may be accessed by NHS England and all ICB's, and NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts across England and their successor bodies.

NHS England Increasing Capacity Framework Agreement (Refresh)-

A Framework Agreement has been entered into by NHS England on behalf of all Contracting Authorities with each provider assessed as capable through this procurement process (a “Provider”). Contracts based upon the NHS Standard Contract or Sub-Contract may be placed by a Contracting Authority with any Provider holding a Framework Agreement covering the relevant Services required by that Contracting Authority.

It is the intention that in accordance with the Framework Agreement, each Contracting Authority, may enter into a separate NHS Standard Contract or Sub-Contract with any Provider, for the Services. The procurement was awarded 26th July 2022 with Framework Agreements signed by successful bidders for a start date of 1st August 2022.The Framework Agreements will have a fixed term ending on 20th November 2024 with no option to extend in accordance with the original OJEU contract notice.

The estimated value is based on a potential upper value over the duration of the ICF and actual value will depend on actual demand. Additional information: All existing Providers originally awarded a framework agreement in November 2020 have been sent a notice of extension which will terminate 20th November 2024. Therefore all framework agreements regardless of award date will terminate conterminously.
