The current contracts for Special Allocation Scheme Service in East and North Hertfordshire, West Essex, South and West Essex are due to expire on 31 March 2024.<br/><br/>Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB therefore published a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to the open market on 8 August 2023 and invited all interested parties to participate in an early market assessment questionnaire. The notice also stated that should only one provider register an interest and meet the requirements, the ICB reserve the right to award to that provider without further publication following due diligence checks.<br/><br/>Following the conclusion of the market assessment questionnaire and publication of a Prior Information Notice the Commissioner only received expressions of interest from providers who are currently delivering the service.<br/><br/>The ICB has therefore concluded that Regulation 32 of the The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 is applicable to this situation and wish to continue with the 3 contracts with the 3 existing providers.<br/><br/>Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication<br/><br/>32.—(1) In the specific cases and circumstances laid down in this regulation, contracting authorities may award public contracts by a negotiated procedure without prior publication.<br/>(2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:—<br/>(a)where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests;
