Justification for selected award procedure:

Explanation
This notice refers to a direct award of an interim contract to ensure continuity of essential health services to the local population. Development work needs to be undertaken to ensure that the focus and delivery of the Whole Systems Integrated Care programme is providing high quality care for patients at the best value.
It is anticipated that the review and subsequent redesign work is likely to take 6 months. NHS Harrow CCG is therefore awarding this INTERIM contract to the incumbent for an 8 month period with the CCG reserving the option to extend this for up to a further 6 months as may be required to complete any potential process to award any new subsequent substantive contract and to allow for a reasonable mobilisation period. This interim contract will ensure continuity of the services and enable the CCG to continue to meet its commissioning responsibilities in relation to securing services of high quality and high value.
