Buyer: West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group
Country: UK
Contract type: Services
Procedure: Open procedure
CPV classification: 85100000: Health services
Estimated value: 21934086 GBP
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: This contract award notice is to confirm the outcome of the evaluation process undertaken by West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group to appoint a capable provider to deliver a single contract for the delivery of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Services across the West Essex area. The contract is being awarded to Vita Health Solutions Ltd.
This contract award notice is to confirm the outcome of the evaluation process undertaken by West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group to appoint a capable provider to deliver a single contract for the delivery of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Services across the West Essex area. The contract has been awarded to Vita Health Solutions Ltd.
The casual connection between poverty, unemployment and social isolation and common mental health difficulties is well evidenced. Commissioners have therefore taken an innovative and positive new approach that locates the mandated clinical IAPT interventions within the wider socio-economic context in which the service and its users exist.
It is expected that, through a strong outward-focus and the establishment of formal referral connections to and from a wide range of existing provision across the area, within limited resources, the clinical IAPT interventions will be better supported to maximise their effectiveness and sustainability and improve service user outcomes.
The outward-looking ethos of this service will require a holistic assessment that understands psychological issues in the wider context in which they exist. A wholly clinical assessment will not be enough to gain such an understanding of each person and could lead to failure to pick up on important factors that cause or influence the presenting issue.
The national expectations of the IAPT service delivery are documented within the IAPT Manual and further developed in the Positive Practice Guides. These national documents must be used to inform the core delivery of the service. West Essex CCG has also developed its own local specification which does not rewrite the requirements and good practice guidance of these documents, but rather reinforces them and expects that they are used throughout.
The Manual describes the complexities involved in delivering an effective IAPT service, and Commissioners have built on it and the suite of Positive Practice Guides to construct their local specification.
Therefore, bidders must have regard to both the IAPT Manual and the local specification of West Essex CCG in forming their proposed service delivery model.

Pegasus — Infrastructure Services — Selection Questionnaire (SQ) — Competitive Process with Negotiation (CPN)
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), founded by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, is famed around the world and has a unique place in the history of policing. Today, accountable to the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime(MOPAC), the MPS is responsible for policing an area of 620 square miles with a daily population of over 12 000 000.
The Pegasus Programme will deliver a service model that reflects the future needs of the MPS. It will enable agility and flexibility in our services, an improved user experience and greater value for money. The Pegasus Programme supports the MPS direction and strategy to seize the opportunities of data, digital and technology to be a world leader in policing.
The MPS is tendering for the provision of IT infrastructure services, please refer to Section II.2.4) (description of the procurement) for further detail.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) contracts are currently being delivered as a multi supplier ‘Towers Model’. The MPS is seeking an aggregated model, moving from 6 towers to a 2 tower model with the first 5 towers coming together plus some additional services to make up the infrastructure services tower at a high level consisting of the following services:
The MPS's procurement model is a 2 tower model that will comprise of an infrastructure provider, with embedded service management and integration services, and a separate applications tower. The authority will be looking to procure a 'run and maintain' contract with no pre-planned transformation built into the contract but with the opportunity to use the 2 towers to deliver change on the back of excellent delivery.
The estimated value range (including change) is between GBP 250 000 000-GBP 600 000 000 over 5 years with options to extend by 2 separate periods of one (1) year for ‘Run and Maintain’ services. Assets are predominantly owned by the MPS and there will be a refresh cycle over the contract term.
The authority has a strong preference for appointing a different supplier to each of the infrastructure and applications towers, to ensure independence between the 2 roles as the Infrastructure supplier will be managing the applications supplier to some extent.
The Metropolitan Police Service wishes to invite ICT suppliers to participate in this opportunity for the delivery of infrastructure services.

Technical requirements: Provision of instruments, accessories, software and engineering which makes up the RNA Consolidated systems.
This notice has previously been published in ‘Find a Tender Service’ (FTS), the UK e-Notification service. Publication in the Official Journal of the European Union was delayed by a technical issue on behalf of the EU publications Office, which has now been resolved.
1) The Covid-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
2) A key element of ensuring an effective response to the pandemic is ensuring that there is adequate testing. Subsequently securing sufficient lab capacity in order to process test results is crucial.
3) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
A. As far as is strictly necessary: Increased lab capacity to increase the amount and fast turnaround of tests processed was identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the testing programme in the UK.
B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: It is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: the Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’ (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 1 April 2020).
D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the amount of tests processed increases with the necessary demand.
E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority – DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

Technical requirements: The provision of freight services for the supply of personal protective equipment and medical equipment.
This notice has previously been published in ‘Find a Tender Service’ (FTS), the UK e-Notification service. Publication in the Official Journal of the European Union was delayed by a technical issue on behalf of the EU publications Office, which has now been resolved.
1) The consequences of not responding rapidly to the pandemic to meet the exceptional increases in demand for PPE to protect care providers and key workers, and medical products to treat patients, would be a significant excess illness and deaths in the UK.
2) Huge increases in global demand, export restrictions from various nation states all contributed to a shortage of product availability. Where product could be sourced it was imperative that this product was moved at the earliest opportunity to prevent it being sold to higher bidders.
3) The urgent need for PPE and medical products in the UK created a requirement for the fastest mode of transport. Air freight transit times were in the region of 4-5 days whereas sea freight was between 56-84 days.
4) The disruption to freight and exports from China following their lockdown and export restrictions led to the severely restricted availability of freight capacity.
5) The market for air freight was particularly disrupted by the cancellation of many scheduled passenger airline flights (removing significant air freight capacity from the market). This created a situation where there was severe lack of physical air freight capacity and dramatic cost inflation in this market.
6) No pre existing government commercial agreements were identified which covered the nature and scale of the services required.
7) This contract was awarded to Virgin Atlantic to meet a specific urgent need to transport PPE to the UK, utilising flights from China to UK during June 2020. The Department is content the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
2) It is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
3) The events that led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’
4) There was no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open, restricted or competitive procedures with negotiation that would secure services within the required timescales.
5) The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority: It has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.
