Legal Justification

Mid and South Essex CCG's and West Essex CCG are currently moving towards creating an Integrated Care System, which initially involves the merging of the five CCG's in Mid & South Essex, and with respect of West Essex CCG its current integration with Hertfordshire CCG's . The external audit services is predicated on organisational structure to satisfy the regulations and to provide appropriate reports to confirm organisational propriety. s a short term solution, as the current contract as expired, whilst this significant organisational changes is taking place it would be inappropriate and short-sighted to carry out a competitive process. It is intended that a procurement process will commence over the coming months, so that organisational structures can be determined and existing audit of current structures concluded.
