Legal Justification

National changes have been delayed to disband Clinical Commissioning Groups by April 2022 and moving their functions to statutory Integrated Care Board. Given the original expiry date, the Authority would have to commence the re-procurement of the PCES services at the same time as they are due to shadow form and transition into the ICS. At present Essex resides within three different STPs (Mid and South Essex, Hertfordshire and West Essex STP and Suffolk and North East Essex STP); it is unclear if the formation of ICS’s will widen the geographical boundaries in order to achieve better alignment to Local Authorities. The additional 12 months aligns the PCES contract with the expiry of the Authority's Essex-wide Corporate and GP IT Service Management contract, enabling these contracts to be co-terminus and bundled together for any future procurement opportunity, making this a more attractive contract to the market but also more resource efficient procurement for Bidders and Authority.
