reviewDetails:
This authority incorporated the required standstill period at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 87) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within 30 days of the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the court considers that there is good reason for extending that period (up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge). If the contract has been entered into the court may award damages and in the case of specified breaches of the rules may also order the termination or shortening of the contract and the levying of fines. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above was to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract was entered into.

description: The requirement is that assessments will be completed by Registered Healthcare Professionals regulated by the General Medical Council, Nursing and Midwifery Council or the Health and Care Professions Council or any other Professional Register as advised from time to time by the Authority and meeting other criteria related to experience, training and competence prescribed by the Authority. These criteria may be subject to Authority change upon the issue of the appropriate Notice over the life of the Contract.

description:
The Authority may require groups of economic operators to assume a specific legal form should they be awarded a contract, to the extent that such a change is necessary for the satisfactory performance of the contract.
An economic operator may be required to provide a performance guarantee e.g. a parent company guarantee should they be awarded a contract.
Full selection criteria are stated in the associated procurement documents.

description: Welfare Reform Legislation states that assessments in connection with claims to benefit or allowance are conducted by a person approved by the Secretary of State. This approval is given by the DWP Chief Medical Adviser and in Lot 5 (NI) by the Department for Communities Health Assessment Advisor. The current requirement is that assessments will be completed by Healthcare Professionals as defined in s.II.1.1 above.

rationale:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: 1.	Given that the FAS contract was entered into in September 2023 and the FAS suppliers have just completed a lengthy hand over period prior to commencing operational services commencement in September 2024, it would not have been possible to appoint a new supplier to deal with the additional services outlined in this modification notice, as the new supplier would not have had the benefit of the handover period.
2.	Appointing a new supplier to address the additional services would have also led to a significant duplication of costs, particularly as during the handover period, the Department was paying incumbent suppliers to deliver the assessment services.
3.	There would be interchangeability issues with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services. A change in supplier without the lengthy handover period and a transition to the new managed IT System would risk the delivery of the services which provide critical statutory benefits to vulnerable claimants

description:
This notice is in relation to modification of an existing Contract, pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”), and is published for transparency purposes.
The Functional Health Assessments (“FAS”) contracts were signed in September 2023 and included an assessment of supplier capacity as of November 2021 (the launch of the procurement). In the intervening period demand for Personal Independence Payment (“PIP”) assessments has continued to rise whilst the Authority has worked with incumbent suppliers to successfully recruit and retain a higher number of Health Professionals (“HPs”) which has enabled the highest ever volume delivery of PIP assessments. The increased number of HPs helps the Authority better meet the demand for assessments across PIP and Work Capability Assessment (“WCA”) (as well as other benefits), and better protects the delivery of the service. Retention of the HPs into FAS ensured that capacity for assessments will meet the current levels of PIP, WCA and other benefits. Collectively, this helps by reducing the length of a customer's journey and minimises the backlog of claims.
In addition to the increased clinical staffing, there were some changes to supplier costs to reflect IT solution changes to address technical constraints and levels of integration.
Pursuant to regulation 72(1)(b) of the PCR 2015, the Authority has agreed a deed of variation with the FAS supplier to vary the FAS to cover the increased clinical staffing which leads to the provisions of additional services, in addition to the additional costs to reflect the changes to the IT solution to address various technical constraints. The additional services are required to address an increase in the number of FAS assessments over the number initially envisaged during the procurement.

There would be interchangeability issues with existing processes and systems with a new supplier which would negatively impact the delivery of key services.

performanceTerms: The appointment to the contract will be subject to the preferred bidder demonstrating that the minimum requirements specified in the SQ continue to be met and there being no material adverse change to the standing of the preferred bidder. The appointment will also be subject to all other necessary due diligence being carried out by the Contracting Authority. No formal contract shall be binding until it has been formally executed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.. Contract performance will be managed and monitored in accordance with the principles as outlined in the Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 ‘Contract Management’, link included below: . https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/publications/procurement-guidance-note-0112-contract-management-principles-and-procedures . . This contract forms part of the NOVA Programme, which will bring together a number of suppliers each of which will be required to act in a collaborative manner to achieve the programme’s objectives. As such there will be contractual requirements that the contractor works co-operatively, proactively and effectively with each of the other Nova Programme suppliers and with the Contracting Authority. This will include the provision of reasonable cooperation, support, assistance and information (including potentially granting access to the contractor’s resources, systems, software and information for the services) and notifying other suppliers and the Contracting Authority where the contractor’s non compliance may have an impact on the performance of another supplier’s services to the Contracting Authority. The contractor may also be required as part of this contract to deliver certain actions or activities that are dependencies of other suppliers under the Nova Programme. It is envisaged that such dependencies will have Milestone Dates attached as well as consequences for failing to achieve such Milestones (e.g. delay payments or services points / credits). As part of the dialogue process the tenderers will also be expected to identify any dependences that they have on the Contracting Authority and other suppliers.. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with PGN 01/12. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.” . . . The Authority expressly reserves the rights:. . (I). not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice;. (II). to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the tendering Competition;. (III). to award (a) contract(s) in respect of any part(s) of the services covered by this notice; and. (IV). to award contract(s) in stages.. . and in no circumstances will the Authority be liable for any costs incurred by candidates.". . . .

reviewDetails: CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and incorporated a. standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers.. That notification provided full information on the award decision. This provided time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into.
