What is being bought

Published requirement description

This alliance contract is set to provide a range of Mental Health services at Primary Care for the benefit of City and Hackney residents.

City and Hackney CCG is undergoing a merger with 6 other CCGs on 1-Apr-2021 and is intending to issue a short extension (6 months) to all contracts expiring on 31-Mar-2021 to provide continuity during the merger. This is under regulation 72(b)(i) and 72(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because a change of contractor cannot be made for technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience for the CCG.

Published justification

City & Hackney CCG is being merged with 6 other CCGs to form North East London CCG (NEL CCG) on 1-April-2021. To ensure smooth transition to NEL CCG the CCG is extending all contracts for 6 months where continuity of provider is deemed necessary. The CCG is publishing this notice to signal its intention to directly award a contract, on the grounds that continuing to use the original contractors is necessary during the merger for technical reasons and that changing contractor at this time would cause significant inconvenience to the CCG (PCR 2015, Reg 72(b)(i) and (b)(ii). While consideration has been given to the Coronavirus pandemic response 32(2)(c) is not being cited as the primary reason for the extension.

The CCG believes that this supplier is already integrated with other services in East London, and has strong links with local health, social care, community and voluntary organisations. This enables it to deliver services in an integrated way and provide holistic care that meets the needs of local patients.

The intended contract extension is for 6 months, to September 2021, and by that time NEL CCG will have been able to complete the merger process, understand where it has multiple contracts for the same services, and make decisions on competitive tendering options for future consolidated contracts as a new organisation.
