From 1st April 2021 - North West London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has incorporated 8 CCG. A period of review is required from April 2021 to agree the future model of care and to identify the commissioning strategies for services across NW London for the coming year and beyond.

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 contract is directly awarded under the compliant Lot 3a: Wheelchair Services part of the Community Equipment Products and Services NHS SBS framework agreement reference SBS/15/RC/GWB/8730, for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further 12 months.

This award is necessary to ensure continuity of these services for local patients.

The CCG has considered its obligations under the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 and assesses that the incumbent provider offers the safest solution to ensure this continuity at this time, particularly having regard to the priorities and resource pressures associated with the local NHS response to COVID-19.
