Procedure rationaleThe Authority published a VEAT notice on the 20th March 2023 to communicate their intention to award this Rapid Intervention Service (RIS) for West Essex Place as a result of a robust due diligence process undertaken as a negotiation without prior publication, under Regulation 32 (1) (b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”) (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). The intended contract duration is from 01st April 2023 - 30th March 2026, with the option to extend for a further 24 months. The aggregate total contract value, including all options, is £1,746,950.00 Pound Sterling. The contract award decision is as a result of a robust due diligence process undertaken as a negotiation without prior publication, under Regulation 32 (1) (b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”) (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020). Detail: The Authority issued a Request for Information (RFI) on 26th July 2022 to ascertain the interest from the market for this Rapid Intervention Service (RIS) for the West Essex place. The deadline expired at 17:30hrs noon on 09th August 2022 and unfortunately, on this occasion, only received a limited response in connection with the RFI exercise. The Authority took a decision to conduct some further engagement with interested and suitable providers that expressed interest in the original opportunity, with an aim to run a different process using the same Specification, to select a suitable provider, under Regulation 32 (1) (b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. As such the Authority contacted those organisations that had responded to the RFI to understand what their potential interest was in working with us and to ensure that the Authority could ascertain a suitably qualified provider and ensure the continuity of service to patients within the West Essex place, as any discontinuation of the service would be an unacceptable outcome to the Authority and would have impacted the patients that require the service. One response was received, and this was the incumbent provider, the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST). The Authority underwent a robust due diligence exercise is being undertaken with the Preferred Bidder (utilising the Crown Commercial Service's standard selection questionnaire) and scored specialist subject matter technical questions to ensure that the Authority had assurance that EEAST were suitably qualified and experienced, supporting the award decision being made. The Authority has observed a voluntary 10-day standstill period from the publication date of the VEAT Notice and will now award the contract, pursuant to Regulation 99 (3) (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended (EU Exit) 2020 etc.)
