two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Along with 7 other CCGs in the area, NHS Hillingdon Clinical Commissioning Group 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 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 3 months in order to enable this review to take place
The CCG has assessed that the service needs to continue whilst a review is completed, and new commissioning plans are developed by the newly formed North West London CCG from April 2021.
This modification is necessary to ensure continuity of these 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)
Section four. Procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
The existing contract is being modified to extend its duration for an interim period of 3 months in order to enable this review to take place.
The CCG has assessed that the service needs to continue whilst a review is completed, and new commissioning plans are developed by the newly formed North West London CCG from April 2021.
This contract modification is assessed to be proportionate and lawful under Regulation 72(1)(b)
four.1.11) Main features of the award procedure
The contract is being extended to agree the approach to commission this service at NWL ICS level in line with national and ICS guidance to ensure smoother, less complicated, non-duplicated service delivery. It would be inappropriate the seek interests of competitive proposals from the market at this stage.
The 3 months interim contract period will allow NW London ICS to agree a consistent and standardise Hillingdon-wide delivery model to achieve effectiveness, efficiencies and excellence in patient experience at all levels of service delivery.
