University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (‘UCLH’) intends to vary its existing Digital Transformation Partner contract (‘the Contract’) with Atos IT Services UK Limited (‘Atos’) to enable the supply of services to Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (‘BEH’) as a Service Recipient as anticipated by the Contract. The Contract was procured pursuant to OJEU Contract Notice 2016/S 068-118710.
Atos is the Supplier under the Contract and is under an obligation to provide Services (as defined in the Contract) to UCLH. Under the Contract, UCLH may extend the benefit of the Services to any NCL Body (an NCL Body is any NHS body within the North Central London health and care system digital footprint — a group of bodies including BEH).
Two Change Authorisation Notes (CANs) will be executed: (i) to clarify the general rights and obligations of any NCL Body that becomes a Service Recipient, and set out required changes associated with the Services being extended to Service Recipients; and (ii) to enable the supply of services to BEH as a Service Recipient in respect of the services identified in the CAN.
The proposed arrangements have already been subject to a procurement in accordance with the relevant EU Directive (‘the Procurement’). The Procurement was advertised by Contract Notice (2016/S 068-118710). Atos was the successful supplier. UCLH and Atos entered into a contract for Digital Transformation Partner services on 23.12.2016 (‘the Contract’). The Contract Notice and the Contract state that the services can be extended to a limited group of NHS bodies including BEH. Section VI.3) of the Contract Notice stated: ‘UCLH reserves the right to procure services on behalf of any NHS body within the North Central London digital footprint under any contract resulting from this procurement, at any point in the future’. The Contract Notice contained a link to the NCL Bodies (including BEH) who were specified potential beneficiaries. The estimated value (s II.2.1) of the Contract Notice) included the services to potential beneficiaries.
The Change Authorisation Notes being entered into vary the Contract to enable the supply of services as anticipated by the Contract Notice and the Contract. The services from which BEH will benefit as a result of the Change Authorisation Notes therefore fall within the scope of the Procurement such that a fresh advertisement is not required.
The value given in sections II.1.7) and V.2.4) is the estimated value of services from which BEH will benefit as Service Recipient under the Contract. That value (30 000 000 GBP) includes the estimated charges for the initial term and all possible extensions if exercised. The estimated value of the services for the initial term only is 14 447 000 GBP. There is no change to value of the services being provided to UCLH as a result of these Change Authorisation Notes.


Winner: Atos IT Services UK Limited
Award value: 30000000
