Procedure rationaleAward of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below: Cheshire and Merseyside ICB are publishing this VEAT notice to confirm its intention to enter the Commissioning Support Services Contract(s). Following publication of the VEAT notice on 04/02/2025, there will be a 10-day standstill period, concluding on 14/02/2025. Following satisfactory conclusion of the standstill period the ICB will enter the contract for 36 months, until 31st March 2028 with an option to extend for a further 12-month period. This notice has been published pursuant to Regulation 12 (7) of PCR 2015. Commissioning support units were established in April 2013 from the remains of the primary care trusts and strategic health authorities as part of the reorganisation of the National Health Service in England following the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and supported a range of corporate services including those listed in this notice. The 9 individual CCG contracts, which make up Cheshire and Merseyside ICB, transferred to the ICB in July 22 and were consolidated into one master contract, the ICB went through a transformation programme to assess the value of the service lines and in-housed several services and re-tendered several more. The plan during the life of the contract will be to benchmark individual service lines, not protected by NHS England, to ensure quality of service and value for money.
