    Non-Emergency Patient transport (NEPTS) journeys are booked for patients, as part of their episode of care, being moved to and from NHS funded treatment at a range of sites across West Yorkshire including acute hospitals and local venues providing community-based care. The service is responsible for safely and effectively transporting eligible patients, as part of their episode of care, between their nominated place of residence, to, from and between NHS-funded healthcare facilities in a timely manner, so that they can receive the health care for which they are scheduled to receive. This responsibility includes: providing a single point of access and full booking service for patients and HCPs; equitable and consistent application of the eligibility criteria to all patients and carers; signposting patients who are not eligible for PTS to alternative transport arrangements; effective determination of mobility need or needs; allocation of journeys across the sub-contracted transport providers through an equitable, open and transparent process; effective communication and collaboration with system wide stakeholders; coordination and management of all patient journeys; timely reporting to commissioners. The 18-month contract is to allow the Commissioners to review and remodel the service specification that will complement the delivery of the NEPTS service currently commissioned and in order to clearly articulate future requirements in accordance with NHS England’s national Framework for NEPTS for the future sustainable service in accordance with the national requirements such as net zero targets, integration of services, 24/7 model, and the application of a consistent eligibility criteria. The additional contractual term will allow for planning a future provider selection process allowing commissioners sufficient time to undertake the relevant engagement with all stakeholders to inform a robust process which will aim to award a new longer term contract whilst ensuring continuity of care for its patient population. The provisional plan is to relaunch in Spring 2025 with the provider selection process and mobilisation resulting in a new service commencing 1st October 2026.

Procedure rationaleThe 18-month contract is to allow the Commissioners to review and remodel the service specification that will complement the delivery of the NEPTS service currently commissioned and in order to clearly articulate future requirements in accordance with NHS England’s national Framework for NEPTS for the future sustainable service in accordance with the national requirements such as net zero targets, integration of services, 24/7 model, and the application of a consistent eligibility criteria. Commissioners are confident that an award of a new contract to a single provider without advertisement is justified and are satisfied that at this point in time the overall contract is capable of being provided only by that provider. The Commissioner’s guiding principles being: • the requirement to commission services from those providers that are most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and improving the quality and efficiency of services, and that provide the best value for money in doing so. • the requirement to consider appropriate means of improving NHS health care services. In the context of the review and remodel of the service specification undertaken and ongoing into what needs to change, the Commissioner has been able to identify with reasonable certainty that it is the incumbent provider that is capable of providing the contract (or that is capable of developing the capacity/infrastructure to do so) and to determine the incumbent provider is most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and of improving services, and represent best value for money for the 18-month contract period required from 1st April 2024.
