## About this tender

The contracting authority wishes to modify the existing contract term to allow for an additional 12-month extension to Surrey Healthy Children and Families Limited Liability Partnership for a Surrey Children's Community Health Service contract under r.72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 on grounds that additional services are required where a change of contractor (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons; and (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of cost..

This contract will maintain existing services to enable the current service delivery model to be appropriately reviewed over the following year.

In considering the timetable for publishing a notice to market for the re-procurement of children's community services, the contracting authorities has considered the current position that the Health Services is operating within.

The national requirement, detailed within the operational plan 2022/23 is for services to focus on the recovery efforts following the pandemic, to reduce the numbers of patients that have been waiting for significant time and have also been added to the waiting list during the pandemic whilst the focus was on the immediate response, coupled with a requirement to ensure the vaccination programme and response to the pandemic is sustained.

As a result of this service redesign is required across all sectors of healthcare to support the shift to reductions in hospital care and increased support in the community. Furthermore there is the requirement to redesign and increase the workforce to ensure sustainability and resilience and appropriate skills to deliver the changes required.

The impact of the national requirements is felt across all providers within healthcare, both NHS and Independent Sector, thus impacting both existing and potential providers within the market. The pandemic and the continuing waves of illness, demand and acuity driven by variants of the virus remain unpredictable but have an impact on continuing service delivery.

The contracting authorities are therefore of the opinion, that to undertake a procurement at this time would have a detrimental impact on both patient care and the workforce required to meet the 22/23 national requirements.

Furthermore, whilst transformational work to support a delivery model, has commenced and work been undertaken in line with the previous notice, due to the changing national requirements and prolonged impact of the pandemic, something that was not anticipated due to reductions in case numbers and hospitalisations, as responsible contracting authorities, further work is required to bring an opportunity to market that would enable potential bidders to be able to respond fully to the future delivery model with a clear understanding of the outcome requirements for the service.

Ensuring continuity of service and maintenance of existing relationships to support the recovery programme, is a key priority for the contracting authorities, furthermore a potential change of provider would further distract efforts from recovery due to the transition requirements relating to staff; via a TUPE process and the technological and IT infrastructure required to support the safe delivery of services.
