two.1.4) Short description

This is a contract award notice to communicate that NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (herein "the Authority") has awarded this Round 1 of the Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) framework provision NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Commissioning Board (NHS MSE ICB) is seeking to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) framework provision for small and medium enterprises (SME)s, Voluntary Sector Charity Organisations (VSCOs), and organisations who could deliver purpose led services within the Mid and South Essex ICB localities.

As advertised within the previous Find a Tender Opportunity Advert (notice number 2023/S 000-037030), the Services to which this procurement relates above threshold of the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations (PCR 2015) (as amended The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020).

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

As advertised within the previous Find a Tender Opportunity Advert (notice number 2023/S 000-037030), this PDPS has no activity guarantee, with a minimum contract value of £0.00 per annum. This notice has reflected a minimum value of £1.00 due to "cvc-minExclusive-valid: Value '0.0' is not facet-valid with respect to minExclusive '0.0' for type 'cost'." error which prevents the true figure of £0.00 per annum being illustrated in Section II.1.7) of this form.

The minimum contract value of £0.00 pa and maximum indicative aggregate contract value £500million. This indicative value was calculated by using the Authority's actual annual spend across a wide range of voluntary, small and medium-sized enterprises, specialist and locality specific purpose led services across the entire geography of Mid and South Essex. The Authority aims to procure such services via this PDPS (once it is established). Any services that do not align with the aims and objectives of this PDPS will be procured outside of this PDPS, in strict accordance with the Regulations.

The key objectives of the Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System are:

Establish a compliant contracting mechanism to allow the Authority to quickly source appropriate, suitable, capable providers to deliver place-based services.

To establish an Approved Provider List of providers who have met and continue to meet the Authority's minimum selection criteria over the term of the PDPS.

To establish a transparent Call-Off and Award Procedure that can be adapted to the individual requirements of each Call-Off contract whereby the Authority can effectively narrow the pool of eligible providers from the Approved Provider List to those most appropriate and capable to be Invited to Tender based on pre-published Categories.

The scope of services is a range of purpose led, place-based, supplementary community services that are uniquely suited to the Voluntary sector and small-to-medium-enterprises (SMEs). The framework aims to enable NHS MSE ICB to develop a process that will support the community and voluntary organisations of any size to have a governance process in place to support with future commissioning and best utilise funding as it is available. The framework aims to enable Commissioners to best distribute funding and commission services at pace, particularly during in seasonal pressures, and to cover a wide range of support services within the MSE geographical footprint. Services in this PDPS include Locality Specific Community Services, Voluntary Sector Specialised Services, Supplementary Community Services (Adults and Children's Services), and Supplementary Mental Health Services across the Mid and South Essex geography.

The Contracting Authority(s) for the Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System is NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (NHS MSE ICB) and the delegated authorities of NHS MSE ICB's Alliances1, which include2:

Basildon and Brentwood Alliance (on behalf of NHS MSE ICB)

Mid Alliance (on behalf of NHS MSE ICB)

South East Essex (SEE) Alliance (on behalf of NHS MSE ICB)

Thurrock Alliance (on behalf of NHS MSE ICB)

2.2 Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System Categories

All potential Bidders who wish to join the PDPS must provide information about their proposed ability to provide the Service that is the subject of this PDPS, in relation to the following 'Categories' of information.

The Authority will use a Filtering Process (described in Document 4 - 'PDPS Stage 2 Individual ITTs / Call Off Procedure') based on the information that Providers have submitted and evaluation of their SQ response, as well as any updates to such information from time to time, to identify all potential suitable PDPS Providers for the Call-Off Contract in question.

Section six. Complementary information

six.3) Additional information

Please note that the figure £1.00 has been used within this form Section V: Award of contract and V.2.4 Total Contract Value of Lot. This figure has been used in order to comply with the "cvc-minExclusive-valid: Value '0.0' is not facet-valid with respect to minExclusive '0.0' for type 'cost'" error, however this figure does not reflect the true value which should read as "£0.00".

For absolute clarity, Section V.2.4 Total Contract Value within this notice should read as "£0.00", due to the fact that no monetary value has been awarded in the establishment of this PDPS Framework.
