title: Primary care complete clinical system

description:
Previously during the transition between GPSoC Framework and The GP IT Futures Lot 1 Framework Agreement, Continuity Call Off Agreements (CCOA) were agreed nationally by NHSE and put into place in behalf of the Mid and South Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). NHS Digital and the National Commercial and Procurement Hub worked together to create a fourth procurement vehicle under the GP IT Futures Lot 1 framework, which mimics the Further Competition - On Catalogue procurement methodology but expands on the concept to allow Call Off Agreements to be awarded for values of up to £1.5M, covering both Foundation and none Foundation solutions. The Bridging Agreement process was then executed, with a mini competition run by NHS Digital / the Hub on behalf of the then CCG. Bridging Agreements were timebound to a maximum of eighteen months. The mini competitions focused on the timescales for change and cost of change associated with switching products in the short term. Following the mini competition, NHS Digital / the Hub then provided the CCG with Order Summaries, which outline the ongoing contractual position for the solutions in use by the CCG.
The Authority (now the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board) is planning to re-compete the entire GP IT estate via an appropriate route to market, however, the GP IT Futures framework expired on 31 March 2023. The procurement for a Framework Agreement to replace this was due to be completed by 2024 by NHS Digital. The website states that Continuity contracts have been put in place to ensure that you continue to have access to your purchased solutions and services between 1 April 2023 and the go live date of the replacement, which is scheduled for early 2024. The page was last edited on 25th March 2024, however,  the replacement Framework has not been concluded to date by NHS Digital.
The Continuity Contracts in place for Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board expire on 31st March 2025. As the Authority is unable to run a mini competition under the replacement framework (the Digital Pathways which has been delayed until after the new Procurement Act 2023 is running from 24th February 2025), it has taken a decision to award a contract to the incumbent Provider TPP without call for competition, as TPP is considered to be the most technically capable provider to deliver the primary care core clinical service requirement given the unacceptable financial risks, duplication of resource and continuity of provision risks associated with any change in contractor and therefore swap out of digital solution across c. 150 practices across mid and south Essex within the timescales remaining available to undertake this in. The Authority has been left with no option but to continue the provision via a direct award without call for competition. This award is made to ensure quality, safety and consistency in provision of care that meet the needs of the vulnerable patient population within Mid and South Essex.
To date the aggregate contract spend with TPP for provision of SystmOne for the following contract periods is £8,352,478.00:
Initial contract term: 1st October 2022 - 31st March 2024.
1st extension: 1st April 2024 – 31st October 2024.
2nd Extension: 1st November 2024 – 31st March 2025.
Proposed extension subject of this VEAT: 1st April 2025 – 30th June 2026

documentType: conflictOfInterest

description:
The contracting authority, NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (the Authority) is undertaking an urgent award for provision of Non-Clinical Payroll and Associated Services to the existing provider in mid and south Essex, in accordance with Schedule 5, Paragraph 13(1)(b) - Additional or repeat goods, services or works, under the Procurement Act 2023.
The scope of the requirement covers:
Compliance and governance (incl. adherence to UK employment law, HMRC requirements, and NHS payroll policies, NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) pay scales, terms, and conditions, integration with NHS Pensions Scheme regulations, 	GDPR-compliant data handling and secure storage of personal information)
-Payroll processing - (accurate and timely processing of payroll runs, calculation of gross pay, statutory deductions (e.g. income tax, NI), and net pay, management of statutory payments, management of salary sacrifice schemes).
-Pension and benefits administration (incl. full support for NHS Pension Scheme administration including joiners, leavers, and retirements, submission of monthly and annual pension returns, auto-enrolment compliance and re-enrolment processes).
-Employee lifecycle support (incl. processing of starters, leavers, and contract changes, issuing of payslips and P60s to employees via secure self-service portals, handling overpayments, underpayments, and retrospective adjustments).
-Reporting and integration (incl. provision of standard and custom payroll reports for internal use and external bodies, integration with HR systems, Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC).
-Customer service and support (incl. dedicated helpdesk or named account manager for ICB staff and employees, defined SLAs for issue resolution and enquiry handling, training for ICB HR and finance teams in using payroll systems and interpreting reports).
-Quality assurance and audit (incl. robust quality checks and reconciliation processes, support for internal and external audits, continuous improvement and regular performance reviews).
-System security and accessibility (incl. secure payroll system with user access controls, employee self-service portal for payslips, P60s, and personal data updates, business continuity and disaster recovery plans).
-Scalability and flexibility (incl. capacity to scale with organisational changes, flexibility to accommodate secondments, multi-post contracts, and complex NHS pay scenarios).
The Authority is proposing an additional 12 month contract award to Whittington to provide the service from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, recognising that the contract value is likely to be uplifted by agenda for change pay award as well as any national changes e.g. increases in NI contribution. As such the estimated contract value for the purposes of the transparency notice is £115,114.
Whilst the 12 month estimated contract value does not exceed the public procurement thresholds, the approximate cumulative value of Authority spend with Whittington Health NHS Trust for this service since 1st December 2021 when the initial contract was let is c. £324,926.00. A Transparency Notice is therefore being issued in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.

procurementMethod: direct

procurementMethodDetails: Direct award

procurementMethodRationale:
The main reason for this decision is because a change of supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving services that are different from, or incompatible with, the services, and that difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
Since January 2025, MSE ICB has been working in collaboration with Mid and South Essex University FT (MSEFT), and Essex Partnership University FT (EPUT) to jointly procure a payroll services contract across all three organisations. The Invitation to Tender was published to the market by MSEFT in June 2025 and names MSE ICB as a Contracting Authority that will be party to the contract.
However, the decision whether to remain in the joint procurement or pause it and find a different compliant option for an interim 12-month period is being driven by externally influencing events since March 2025, including major devolution reforms, ICB boundary reconfigurations, and national restructuring of NHS governance and ICB responsibilities. These events have rendered the original procurement route less viable within the available timescales, due to their direct impact on commissioning geography and system relationships.
The urgency is not due to ICB delay or poor planning. A competitive process was actively planned and had indeed been published in June 2025, demonstrating the ICB's intention to comply with the Procurement Act 2023. The need to pause and redirect was triggered by external changes beyond the ICB's control, including:
• Government confirmation of the Greater Essex devolution programme,
• National announcements about the abolishment of NHS England and ICB cost-cutting,
• The publication of the ICB blueprint reshaping commissioning roles and accountability.
These developments were not foreseeable during planning and fundamentally altered the strategic context in which the original joint-procurement had proceeded. Continuing with the planned competitive process may now risk misaligning with future joint commissioning structures and priorities.
Any future contract is likely to be much more attractive to the market if the ICB decides to consolidate payroll systems across multiple NHS organisations in the future, potentially digitally transforming the payroll function, or moving to a shared service model.
An urgent direct award is required to maintain essential BAU services with the existing provider and avoid a change in service provider for only a short-term period where differences in models/systems/service as a result of that change, pose several strategic, operational, and financial risks, particularly during this period of structural change and externally imposed reforms.
A change of supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing services, and that difference / incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance:
Disruption to business continuity
•	Short transition window may result in incomplete or rushed onboarding of any new provider.
•	Potential for missed or incorrect payments, which can seriously impact staff morale and trust.
•	Risk of data migration issues (e.g. pension records, historic pay adjustments, overpayments).
2. Increased operational burden
•	HR, finance, and IT teams must divert attention and capacity to managing the transition. This competes with resources needed to support broader reforms and restructuring.
3. Short-termism
•	A 12-month contract offers little incentive for provider investment in quality, innovation, or relationship building.
•	There may be limited contractual levers for performance improvement, given the short duration.
4. Change fatigue
•	Repeated organisational change can create staff disengagement and fatigue-especially if payroll reliability becomes a concern.
•	Risk of "transition overload" when paired with wider NHS reforms (e.g. national digital transformation, workforce redesign).
5. Integration and system risks
•	Payroll is often linked to HR systems (ESR), pensions (NHSPS), finance (Oracle, SBS).
•	Disrupting this during larger structural changes risks integration errors or misaligned data flows.
6. Financial risk
•	Switching providers incurs transition costs (e.g. project management, training, dual running).
•	Risk of non-value for money: onboarding costs are high relative to the short contract lifespan.
7. Reputational risk
•	A payroll failure (e.g. missed NHS pay runs) could trigger negative attention from unions, regulators, or media-especially during a politically sensitive reform period.

procurementMethodRationale: During an audit of our Fire Safety Compliance processes it was highlighted that monthly testing on Emergency Lighting on 2 storey blocks of flats was required and had not historically been carried out. Contractors were urgently required to carry out monthly testing to ensure not only our compliance but the safety of tenants in social housing. As we had already previously contracted a supplier via a competitive process to carry out the annual compliance checks on these same blocks of flats it made economical sense to award them a contract to also complete the monthly checks. Although a full procurement process was not completed, we had approached the market for suppliers who could complete similar work on 3 storey buildings and therefore had prices to compare to those submitted by this contractor.

The contract was approved by the SY ICB Formal Exec Group meeting on 27 November.

No conflicts of interest were declared.

Key criteria 1.  Quality and innovation - 30%
AML already have a mobilisation plan for additional cohorts including but not limited to aged in patients, those moved into area, initial 'non-responders' and initial patients whose risk score is likely to have increased since first invitation.

AML also have access to the patient information needed to enable additional cohorts including previous risk scores and 'non-responder' data insights which will inform their contact strategy for increasing uptake by this group, building on their success of increasing overall uptake.

AML have developed effective working relationships with both primary care and secondary care providers across the SYB TLHC footprint.  Established and effective communication processes are in place to support and optimise the TLHC pathway which has been co-produced with stakeholders including AML.

AML have information pertaining to the additional needs of our eligible population including Learning Disability, Serious Mental Illness, Visual Impairment and Hearing Impairment, in order that they can personalise their contact strategy and support the SY ICB ambition to further reduce health inequalities.

AML have established partnerships and arrangements with accessible scanning sites across the SYB TLHC footprint which effectively meet the specific needs of our eligible population.

AML have established partnerships and arrangements with accessible scanning sites across the SYB TLHC footprint which effectively meet the specific needs of our eligible population.

Key criteria 2.  Value - Weighting 30%
SY ICB have been out to procurement on three separate occasions and AML have been successful each time based on quality and finance.  The most recent procurement exercise for Sheffield, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Additional Cohorts commenced February 2024 and concluded with the Contract Award in August 2024.  This contract commenced on August 1st 2024.

SY ICB are looking to specifically commission this service to merge with existing resources to reduce the financial and resourcing impact while enabling us to extend the TLHC programme to all who are eligible on a rolling basis. In turn this will ensure SY ICB are able to resource the most cost effective service as possible while ensuring all patients who are eligible are able to access the service.

Transferring data to a new provider also involves additional risk to patients.

Key criteria 3.  Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - Weighting 10%
AML have so far achieved 72% coverage for the SYB programme which is the best in the country currently, with future plans to achieve 100% coverage.  It is SY ICB’s intention to continue to lead in this area by aiming for 100% which will only be feasible be extending the current provision offered by AML to cover the additional cohorts.  Using the current service would improve the sustainability of the new service by allowing operational flexibility, patient flexibility and minimising time and operational costs for the provider to ensure the best value and service for patients.

Key criteria 4.  Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - Weighting 20%

AML have a pre-established process as they also provide TLHC in the areas SY ICB are aiming to target. Access to existing services will be crucial to deliver this activity to the additional cohorts, access to information such as the additional needs of our eligible population including Learning Disability, Serious Mental Illness, Visual Impairment and Hearing Impairment will allow AML and SY ICB to personalise their contact strategy and support the SY ICB ambition to further reduce health inequalities.

Key criteria 5.  Social Value - Weighting 10%
AML have selected sites close to the eligible population, tailored to specific PCNs where possible and with good public transport links.  This ensures that the patients have good access to the service in an area that suits them based on home or work locations across each Place and Bassetlaw while ensuring changes to national guidance can be adhered to.  AML have developed a substantial portfolio of suitable scanning sites (more than 20 to date) to meet the specific needs of our population and based on feedback from local stakeholders who have first hand knowledge of the patient groups they will serve.  AML have also sourced alternative sites when required based on data insights and soft intelligence in order to reduce DNAs, increase uptake and enhance patient experience.
