Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this framework agreement 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 standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by June 25th 2025. This framework agreement has not yet been formally concluded; this notice serves as an intention to establish the framework agreement under the PSR.’
No conflicts of interest were identified amongst the decision makers within this procurement, who comprise the THRS Team at HealthTrust Europe on behalf of Mid and South Essex NHS Trust
HTE as a private entity have partnered with Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust (“MSE”) pursuant to a framework agreement published via a contract notice 2021/S 000-019414 on the UK e-notification service, where expressions of interests were sought from potential providers for the provision of procurement partner services to MSE and other Contracting Authorities. As a result of its successful tender, HTE was selected by the MSE and entered into a framework with them to provide procurement services to customers including providing access to HTE’s public sector frameworks on a call-off basis.
We therefore have a framework agreement in place with MSE in which they agree to host our frameworks, such frameworks are signed off by MSE, as the Contracting Authority. While this agreement was entered into pursuant to the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the arrangement remains a compliant route to market under the Procurement Act 2023. Further, HTE is an accredited host by NHSE which further confirms the relationship with MSE as our host.
