two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The intention in 24/25 was for CFT to use the £171k to sub-contract to Pentreath; however their current expenditure to Pentreath under the existing contract has exceeded thresholds. This has led to them being unable to direct award the funding before the end of the year, placing the funding at risk of being unused and returned to DWP. This will then impact on 25/26 delivery and the workforce availability.
The ICB is being asked to direct Award to Pentreath to ensure the funding is spent in sufficient time and to ensure the workforce is recruited.
CFT will then plan to procure the support under a larger contract with Pentreath in 25/26. CFT intend to run a full procurement.
The ICB would direct award for one year.
Due to CFT handing back the contract as they are going to the market in order to address urgent quality/safety concerns pose risks to patients or the public and necessitate rapid changes and to re-award to an existing contract holder
Award needed to be made urgently due to CFT not being able to go to the market for 25/26 this was unforseeable by the ICB and delay in this urgent provision would pose a risk to patients and service users.
Lifetime value: £171,000
