Further to the voluntary ex ante transparency notice 2023/S 000-019957 published on 12th July 2023 Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (MSE ICB) has awarded a 36-month contract (1st August 2023 - 31st July 2026) with the option to extend the contract by up to an additional 12-month period (1st August 2026 -31st July 2027); a maximum contract term of 48-months.

From a contract value perspective this equates to £34,559,463 over the 36-month period and a total of £46,079,284 if the additional 12-month extension is enacted.

MSE ICB has awarded contracts to its Hospice System Partners, MSE ICB have been working to provide a service for patient cohorts who have a 'primary health need', and where they have a rapidly deteriorating condition or are in the terminal phase of life, and where their needs are more than ancillary to the provisions of accommodation by a local authority, i.e. the care they need is beyond the legal remit of Social Services.

The service may include both a bedded service and a domiciliary service dependent upon the individuals need.

This decision is based upon this is best solution to ensure that Patients across Mid and South Essex benefit from the service and ensures the service compliments other Palliative and End of Life care provision with its Hospice System Partners, who are uniquely placed and most technically capable to successfully deliver this service at scale and pace.
