Description

The provision of inpatient and outpatient healthcare services and hospital capacity as part of the continued response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in England.

Total Quantity or Scope

The provision of inpatient and outpatient healthcare services and hospital capacity as part of the response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in England. In 2020, under OJEU reference 2020/S 202-492264, the contracting authority competitively procured a Framework Agreement of providers to deliver NHS inpatient and day case services, urgent elective care and cancer treatment in line with nationally set criteria and NHS Diagnostic Services (the ‘Framework Procurement’). The contracting authority is in the process of entering into the Framework Agreements with the successful providers in the framework procurement. The contracts covered by this contract award notice are short term awards for 3 months to enable NHS commissioners across England to make arrangements for the transition to new arrangements under the framework agreement.

Indicators

Legal Justification

The organisations listed in this notice provide a mix of NHS funded and/or private health services and had capacity to provide inpatient, outpatient and critical care to ensure that the NHS would have sufficient capacity to meet the potential demand of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The urgent need for these 3 month contracts to be awarded to the listed providers to ensure service continuity to the NHS patients through Quarter 4 only became apparent during November/early December 2020 as the combination (and potential impact) of the following became fully evident: • Covid resurgence, and likelihood of a further wave post-Christmas due to temporary removal of distancing restrictions; • lack of preparedness on the part of CCGs and Trusts to resume local purchasing of services; • the extent and nature of the services being provided by the providers and the time needed to transition to other arrangements that have been competitively procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
