II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The criteria has been met as there is an existing provider of the healthcare services to which the proposed contracting arrangements relate AND the authority is satisfied that the healthcare services to which the proposed contracting arrangements relate can only be provided by the existing provider (or group of providers) due to the nature of the healthcare services. The ICB (Integrated Care Board) is the only existing provider that can deliver this service due to the unique requirement of specialised knowledge of the pathways available and how the treatment outcome can be maximised for dual treatment. This specialised knowledge is the most appropriate way to ensure best value for public money as the ICB are responsible for planning NHS services, managing the NHS budget, and arranging for the provision of health services across the BNSSG area. The type of service means there is no realistic alternative to the current provider- ICB has the specialised knowledge of all care pathways available- Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are statutory NHS organizations. ICBs facilitate integration between local NHS organizations in their area.
