Published justification

'This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.'<br/><br/>Change in practice enforced by external circumstances (CQC suspension of new registration and LMC agreeing Battle Road will take on). Local intelligence shows that other local practices unlikely to be interested in bidding for a contract.<br/><br/>PSR states that where a contract is awarded under the above circumstances, the Authority must set the length of contract to be only as long as is strictly necessary to address the urgent situation and to conduct a full award process for that service at the earliest feasible opportunity. If the term is to be longer than 12 months relevant authorities must justify and record this decision. <br/><br/>For this contract award intelligence gathered from other local practices indicates that if n competitive MSP approach was taken (on the basis that procurement would be limited to GP practices, and they would be local to Hellingly), Battle Road would be the practice most willing and appropriate to deliver the contract. It is therefore recommended that a 2+1 year contract is awarded.<br/><br/><br/>Decision Makers were <br/>Mike Lander Deputy Director – Contracts Evaluator and CO<br/>George Guerges Evaluator and SRO<br/>Taofeeq Ladega Senior Category Manager - Healthcare/ Clinical Procurement Procurement strategy, moderator and notices publication<br/>Alison Nuttall Managing Director Evaluator and Ops lead
