The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. No formal award has been made as of yet. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This is a new service and is therefore being awarded to a new provider. Additional information: Regarding Local Government Reorganisation - potential contract modifications: Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is the process in which the structure and responsibilities of local authorities are reconfigured. The Government has set out plans to move away from the current two-tier system of district and county councils in England, which is relevant to Cambridgeshire County Council, the five district councils in the county (Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council), and Peterborough City Council as a neighbouring unitary council. Therefore, the current seven councils in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough may be replaced and no longer exist. Rather than dealing with separate county, city and district councils, residents will access all services through unitary council(s). At this stage, no decisions have been made on how many unitary councils will cover the county and which geographical areas they will cover. Throughout the LGR process, the Authority's focus will remain on delivering essential services across Peterborough. Potential changes may occur during the term of the Contract, and although commercial contracts are likely to transfer to any new unitary authorities by statutory instrument or be agreement on LGR, the contracts may need to be amended to reflect the new geographical, financial and contract scope. Therefore, to ensure the Contract may adapt upon implementation of LGR and modify to reflect the implications of LGR, we state within this notice of the intention to rely on Section 13(1) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 to permit modification of the of the Contract (if modification is considered necessary and reasonable), to reflect new geographical, financial and contract scope accordingly. Please note we cannot precisely confirm any modification, if any, to the geographical, financial and contract scope at this stage, and any proposed modification, if agreed, shall not be implemented until 1 April 2028 at the earliest. Any contract modification in relation to LGR shall be in accordance with clause 51 (variation) and clause 58 (Reorganisation) of the Contract.
