The contract service includes 1) Provision of full GMS Services, 2) Achievement of additional Key performance indicators in the following areas: Access, Patient Engagement, Childhood Vaccinations and Immunisations, Cytology and Flu Vaccinations, Homeless and Vulnerable Housed Service. The current registered population for Farrier House Surgery includes a large proportion of university students. It is seeking to do a Direct Award under Regulation 32 (b) (ii) where competition is unlikely to be financially viable and changing provider at this crucial time in post-pandemic recovery period would be disruptive to patient pathways and not in the patients' interests. The CCG is therefore looking to Directly award a contract to SW Healthcare for a period of Five years with an option to extend for a period of 24 months which constitutes an estimated contract value of around £4,424,000. The anticipated go-live date of this contract will be from 1st April 2022. This Direct Award follows on from the current contract which was awarded in April 2021 to SW Healthcare, continuing on from the original competitive procurement awarded in 2015. Under the NHS Long Term Plan Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are working towards a model of more integrated care within Primary Care alongside PCN and GP organisations. This model is still being developed in Herefordshire & Worcestershire. In the light of the current Covid 19 emergency situation, the focus of work is centred around post pandemic recovery. It would be unduly disruptive to the continuity of services for patients and cause substantial duplication of costs for the CCG to undertake a further procurement process at this point in time. It has become necessary therefore for the CCG, under Regulation 32 (b) (ii) to directly award a contract to SW Healthcare to ensure continuity and integrity of pathways during the next few years in post-pandemic recovery and during a period of immense change due to the development of new integrated pathways within the GP and PCN arena in Primary Care. Regulation 32 (b) (ii) states..>"where competition is absent for technical reasons..."The CCG does not feel that competition for this service exists at a viable financial level. The Fall-out from the pandemic emergency has now changed to post pandemic recovery efforts and this requires a focus on crucial resources to regain pre-pandemic levels of service and care. To change provider and pathways at this point would not be in the patients' interests.
