HSH IUC Partners Direct Award

Description

This is modifying an existing contract award notice of two subcontracts for the Provision of Integrated Urgent Care, made under Contract Award Notice 2020/S 214-525835 published on 3 November 2020. The award of the two subcontracts were as the result of South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) being awarded the lead contract for NHS111/Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) services by the Hampshire and Surrey Heath Partnership from June 2021. The contract award notice for the award to SCAS of the lead contract was published on 3 April 2020 (ref 2020/S 067-160620). The original procurement for the award of two subcontracts was for: Lot 1 – Sub-contract 1: (i) Clinical Assessment Service; (ii) Face-to-Face Appointments; (iii) Home Visiting awarded to North Hampshire Urgent Care was for annual costs of £6,266k (£43,866k over 7 years). Lot 2 - Sub-contract 2: (i) Clinical Assessment Service; (ii) Home visiting awarded to Partnering Health Limited was for annual costs of £3,133k (£21,933k over 7 years). As we approach contract mobilisation we have greater certainty of the additional costs above but the costs of 111 First on an ongoing basis are still being reviewed. Nevertheless, we are clear that the maximum annual value of the contracts, allowing for reasonable levels of activity growth and inflation will be as follows: Lot 1 – Sub-contract 1: (i) Clinical Assessment Service; (ii) Face-to-Face Appointments; (iii) Home Visiting awarded to North Hampshire Urgent Care will be for annual costs between £7,059k and £7,423k (between £49,413k and £51,961k over 7 years). Lot 2 - Sub-contract 2: (i) Clinical Assessment Service; (ii) Home visiting awarded to Partnering Health Limited will be for annual costs up to £4,012k (£28,084 over 7 years).
