- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
Along with 7 other CCGs in the area, NHS Harrow CCG is to be incorporated into a new CCG from 1st April 2021 - North West London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). A period of review is required from April 2021 to agree the future model of care and to identify the commissioning strategies for urgent care services across NW London for the coming year and beyond.
The existing contract is therefore being modified to extend its duration for an interim period of 6 months in order to enable this review to take place.
This modification is necessary to ensure continuity of these critical urgent care services for local patients.
The CCG has considered its obligations under the NHS (Procurement Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013 and assesses that the incumbent provider offers the safest solution to ensure this continuity at this time, particularly having regard to the priorities and resource pressures associated with the local NHS response to COVID-19.
This contract modification is assessed to be proportionate and lawful under Regulation 72(1)(b)
four.1.11) Main features of the award procedure
This UTC contract was established for the 4 year period April 2017 until March 2021. This Notice confirms a modification to extend this contract for a further 6 months until 30 September 2021. This process will be achieved through variation procedure with the incumbent service provider.
