- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
The Service falls within Schedule 3 (‘social and other specific services’, also known as the “Light Touch” Regime) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (‘PPAR 2020’).
The Authority is currently in a transitional period with the expectation to be superseded as a statutory body, by an Integrated Care Board in late 2022. The organisation shall have a key function as part of the overall Integrated Care System. At the current time, longer-term
strategies across all sectors are under discussion and longer term commissioning decisions and or procurements cannot take place until these legal arrangements are confirmed.
The Authority has therefore taken a decision to award a contract to the incumbent provider to manage critical risks and ensure consistency in provision of care that meet the needs of the population. These Services have historically been provided under an NHS Grant Agreement, due to their nature but the Authority has decided to move these onto a contract to support clinical quality oversight and to align with other main two MSE Hospices.
Additionally, the provider is considered most technically capable of providing the most economically advantageous solution to the Authority under the current environment whilst transitioning to the ICB, because the NHS is contributing to the overall costs towards all of
the services within the contract being delivered by the provider already, and so gets a return on investment. The Authority is applying the NHS Standard Contract Terms and Conditions to support a combination of services, all of which are part funded a under a single clinical
contract, to ensure appropriate clinical governance and service delivery quality as well as consistency of service to patients.
