Description

NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit (MLCSU) has been working on behalf of NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) who were looking to undertake a multi-lot Competitive Process for the provision of Adult Mental Health Services (Lot 1 - Peer Support and Lot 2 - Physical Health Checks for people with Serious Mental Illness (PH SMI) Outreach Service). During 2023 and 2024 the community Mental Health Transformation programme has worked to coproduce an integrated model of support for people living with severe mental illness, develop pathways and articulate what interventions are required to support people to live well in their local communities. This work has informed what services will be required as part of the model going forward. The ICB is committed to providing stability to the sector and a model of services is being proposed, which will procure services. It was the intention of the ICB to start commissioning contracts for the above services from 1st December 2024 for 2 years and 4 months, with an option to extend for a further 2 years.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by midnight Friday 4th October 2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR. Written representations should be sent mlcsu.tendersnorth@nhs.net, quoting this notice. The award decision-makers for this procurement were the ICB's Commissioning Resource Group (CRG) followed by Executive approval. Following the completed evaluation and moderation process, the Bidder's having passed the pass / fail criteria and with the highest combined scores (from Common Questions, Service General Questions, and Place specific questions for each place), these bidder's were deemed to be the successful Bidder's for each lot by the evaluation panel. The key criteria was detailed in the tender documents, and was weighted based on importance. One individual who was an evaluator in procurement, declared a potential conflict as they worked for Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust LSCFT ( a potential bidder). However, LSCFT declared at the start of the process, that they would not be bidding for the opportunity. All evaluators received relevant training and signed Conflict of Interest and confidentiality forms. Therefore this declaration was deemed to create no conflicts that would prevent the involvement of the individual in the procurement process. There were no other potential conflicts of interest identified.
