This is a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice intended to provide notice of the Contracting Authority 's intention to award a twelve month contract to its incumbent provider, KPMG for the provision of external audit services to the following CCG's: Castle Point & Rochford CCG, Basildon & Brentwood CCG, Mid Essex CCG, Southend CCG and Thurrock CCG. The CCG's in Mid & South Essex are in the process of merger into a single entity under the Health & Care Bill to form the Integrated Care System, this has been delayed, which has required the publication of this VEAT as the Commissioners believe it inappropriate to commence procurement in this period of organisational change; it is the intention to seek a new external audit partner over the coming months to commence a new contract from 1st July 2023

- Why no open competition
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
Mid and South Essex (MSE) CCG's are currently moving towards creating an Integrated Care System, which initially involves the merging of the five CCG's to form a single entity which through the Health & Care Act will become the Integrated Care Board to manage the health economy across MSE. The External Audit services are predicated on organisational structure to satisfy the finacial regulations and to provide appropriate reports to confirm organisational propriety. As a short term solution whist this significant organisational change is taking place it would be inappropriate and short sighted to carry out a procurement process and so a twelve month extension is the most appropriate action. It is intended that a procurement process will commence over the coming months so that organisational structure can be determined and existing audits of current structures can be closed appropriately.
