II.2.4) Description of the procurement
North Somerset Council commissions health care services (End of Life and CHC) on behalf of the local ICB. This promotes collaborative working and streamlined social/health care services.
North Somerset Council has contracts with strategic providers, procured under the PCR2015 in 2023 for the delivery of Domiciliary Care Services which includes End of Life and CHC provision. In the majority of cases any health care requirements will be picked up by the NSC strategic providers. The health care element is a small part of the overall domiciliary care contracts and therefore the mixed procurement definition applies and the PSR regulations do not apply.
In some instances, for reasons of patient choice and/or in the best interests of the patient/service user, a different provider was requested to deliver the health service. This could be because the patient was already receiving services from the provider as part of a private package, for example, or because the care is so complex or specific there is only one provider available locally who is able to deliver the care required.
In these instances only, the Provider Selection Regime is being used to directly award a contract to the chosen provider, as the provision is for health care services only. NSC will not be able to use the providers to deliver any services other than health care services.
NSC has no other mechanism to contract with these providers following the termination of a domiciliary care framework agreement on 31/3/25. The providers included in this award were previously approved on the old domiciliary care framework agreement to deliver health care services.
The providers will still be delivering services to the existing service users and amendments to packages may be required, it would not be appropriate to transfer services to the NSC lead or tier 2 providers following a best interests decision or patient choice.
This is a contract award via Direct Award Process A of the Provider Selection Regime for reasons of patient choice/best interests as these are the only providers capable of delivering the services to their existing service users in these situations.
Contract term: 1/4/25 - 31/3/27
