NWL CCG has a duty within the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 to decide how best to commission and procure healthcare services and although consideration should be given to competition, the NWL CCG should assess where the most capable or only provider or providers can be identified. Given the critical nature of this service, NWL CCG has assessed that no other providers will be technically capable to deliver the service which is as integrated with the existing community provider landscape.
The contract is being extended to agree the approach to commission this service at NWL ICS level in line with national and ICS guidance to ensure smoother, less complicated, non-duplicated service delivery. It would be inappropriate the seek interests of competitive proposals from the market at this stage.
The 12 months interim contract period will allow NW London ICS to agree a consistent and standardise Hounslow-wide delivery model to achieve effectiveness, efficiencies and excellence in patient experience at all levels of service delivery.

Publisher note: Currently, the nature of the service provision remains unchanged as NWL ICS is completing their region-wide review of all Community based services across NW London. This 12 months interim contract will allow a period for the new CCG to agree consistent approach in commissioning and contracting this service at NWL ICS level in line with NHSE/I guidance, thereby ensuring standardised and seamless service delivery across the board. This is an existing service that has been in place since April 2013. The CCG has assessed that the service needs to continue whilst a review is completed and new commissioning plans are developed by the newly formed North West London CCG from April 2021. The existing contract is being modified through contract variation to extend its term by 12 months. The existing value of the contract of £4,528,128 will increase by £566,016 during this additional term.
