NWL CCG is currently of the view that the services described are capable of being provided only by Community Barnet as based on the current market of local providers identified through community engagement events. The purpose of this notice is to be transparent about the CCG's intentions & to invite anyone interested in delivering the services described above to contact us by 1st March 2022. If it is the case that Community Barnet is the only provider capable of delivering the services described, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to Community Barnet for up to 12 months beyond 1 April 2022. In 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB). Any future contract/procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
