seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Original contract was let under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
Explanation:
The procurement process for NHSE448 Primary Care Services (Medical and Nursing) including Clinical Substance Misuse for HMP New Hall and HMP Askham Grange and Integrated Mental Health Services including Neurodiversity and Psychosocial Substance Misuse Services for HMP New Hall and HMP Askham Grange was formally withdrawn.
The rationale for this decision is the need to undertake a comprehensive financial review to ensure that the published financial envelope is both realistic and achievable.
The contract for the Service with the incumbent provider was due to expire on 31st August 2025.
The service is essential for patient safety and therefore the Relevant Authority has decided that an urgent modification is required to extend the current contract for the service.
The modification extends the current contract by 12 months, for the period 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The Relevant Authority has abandoned its procurement of Primary Care Services (Medical and Nursing) including Clinical Substance Misuse for HMP New Hall and HMP Askham Grange within His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) ("Service") with reference number NHSE448.
The contract for the Service with the incumbent provider was due to expire on 31st August 2025. The Service is essential for patient safety and therefore the Relevant Authority has decided that an urgent modification is required to extend the current contract for the Service.
The modification extends the current contract by 12 months, for the period 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026, and increases the overall contract value by £5,090,464.
The modification also changes the identity of the provider from Care UK Clinical Services Limited (Co Regn No 03462881) to Practice Plus Group Health and Rehabilitation Services Limited (Co Regn No 10498997) to accurately reflect the identity of the provider following a group reorganisation and rebranding.
In the view of the Relevant Authority, the modification was urgent.
Details of the individual(s) making the decision is North East and Yorkshire Regional Leadership Group.
There were no declared or potential conflicts of interest.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £44,782,146
Total contract value after the modifications
