Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under 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 contract award was urgent to enable peer support services to continue to support patients accessing Long COVID services across Lancashire and South Cumbria. Commissioning responsibility of Long COVID services was passed from NHS England to ICBs on 1st April 2024. The Red Rose Recovery service was previously commissioned under NHS England arrangements which were to come to an end in September 2024. The ICB made the decision to continue these arrangements for 24/25 to ensure there was no disruption to patients currently accessing Long COVID services. The urgent award is in line with the PSR guidance and is an urgent requirement as the current arrangements were ending following the decision by NHSE to pass the responsibility of commissioning Long COVID services to the ICBs and creating a gap in service provision to conduct a full service review would have posed a risk to patient safety. The ICB's CFO approved this urgent award on the 16/10/2024. No conflicts were declared.
