Technical requirements: The Community Msk Physiotherapy Service offers a range of treatment modalities to patients with musculoskeletal problems, referred by GPs on the Isle of Wight, with the specific aim of preventing onward referrals to secondary care and improving the ability of patients to self-manage any future musculoskeletal issues related to their presenting problems.
Original contract awarded for 3 years plus 24 month extension from 1 April 2016 following a competition process advertised via OJEU 2015/S 123-225750. Due to Covid-19 the contracting authority will not be able to conclude the new competition in time and therefore intend to extend the current arrangements by 6 + 6 months with a maximum expiry date of 31 March 2022.
Further information including service specification can be found at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/soepscommissioning/aspx/Home
The Covid-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the continuation of the supply of Community Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Service. This does not give NHS Isle of Wight CCG sufficient time to comply with undertaking a competitive procurement process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 following the Light Touch Procurement Regime for Healthcare Services (see also Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition Regulations 2013).
Accordingly, the contracting authority considers this to be a state of urgency that is duly substantiated as the need for a modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen.
This PCR Regulation 72 Modification Notice is being published to notify the extension on the contract for 6 months with the option to extend for a further 6-month period. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract.
