The contract to deliver this local requirement is being awarded through a negotiated procedure recognising the lawful appropriateness as set out within Regulation 32 (2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 which lawfully enables a contracting authority to negotiate a contract directly where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons. In the case of St. Luke's contract, NWL CCG has assessed for the reasons stated above that St. Luke's is the only the organisation in a position to deliver the high quality integrated services which can achieve the desired outcomes.
NWL CCG has a duty within the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 to decide how best to commission and procure healthcare services and although consideration should be given to competition, the NWL CCG should assess where the most capable or only provider or providers can be identified. Given the critical nature of this service, NWL CCG has assessed that no other providers will be technically capable to deliver the service which is as integrated with the existing community provider landscape.
The contract is being extended to agree the approach to commission this service at NWL ICS level in line with national and ICS guidance to ensure smoother, less complicated, non-duplicated service delivery. It would be inappropriate the seek interests of competitive proposals from the market at this stage.
This interim 12-month contract will allow the newly established NW London CCG to continue the discussions for consistent commissioning and contracting on the following areas (this is dependent on the findings of the NWL ICS Review of all EoL/SPC services in NW London):
• Contractual framework for commissioning at NWL ICS level
• Finance and staffing resources aligned and consistent with greater demand for Health Inequalities - determine and agree how resources will be allocated
• Models of Care - agree consistent and standardised NWL ICS-wide delivery model to ensure effectiveness, efficiencies and excellent pt. experience across all levels of service delivery whilst meeting local Brent Borough population health & care needs
• Reporting - agree consistent reporting principles and processes taking into account NWL ICS and Brent ICP levels of good governance and robust assurance processes.
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Outcome Measures (OM) - review current KPIs and outcome measures to see if they are still fit for purpose and are capturing the right information needed for performance monitoring and reflective of the outcomes being measured impacting patient care.
The 12 month interim contract period will allow NW London ICS to agree a consistent and standardise Brent-wide delivery model to achieve effectiveness, efficiencies and excellence in patient experience at all levels of service delivery.
