uin	1587
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is solely responsible for carrying out the procurement, including the agreement of the award criteria, selection process and evaluation, and award of the contract.</p><p> </p><p>The commissioner can design the award criteria to reflect the service being contracted. The criteria for Dudley Multispecialty Community Provider (MCP) can be viewed in the comprehensive outcomes framework which is available on Dudley CCG’s website.</p><p> </p><p>CCGs must be compliant with the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR 2015). This includes running a procurement process that is equal and transparent, which means that commissioners cannot discriminate against, or in favour of, bidders on the grounds of geographic location. PCR 2015 also requires that contracts for clinical services with a lifetime cost over the £589,148 threshold must be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union.</p><p> </p><p>It will be for bidding providers to determine the ownership model of that provider. Neither the advert nor the criteria should specify the organisational form of the body that will be awarded the contract, and the precise arrangements will not be known until bids have been received and reviewed. Local areas will need to work through the trade-offs between:</p><p> </p><p>- the degree of formal integration they want to achieve and the strength of governance and decision making required for implementation of the model; and</p><p>- their appetite for change and the pace at which they are able to proceed.</p><p> </p><p>Any holder of the MCP contract, regardless of organisational form, will be required in to be work closely with local stakeholders, including local general practitioners to deliver the care model.</p><p>In November 2016 NHS England and NHS Improvement published details of a new Integrated Support and Assurance Process (ISAP). The dual purpose of the ISAP is to guide the work of local commissioners and providers in creating successful and safe schemes, and to provide a means of assurance that this has happened. The ISAP process will test the ability of the provider to deliver the contract. The contract can only be awarded once all stages of the ISAP have been completed.</p><p> </p><p>Once awarded, the contract can only be disposed of to a third party with the approval of the CCG and they may require any replacing provider to provide a guarantee from its parent or another party as a condition of the approval.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 1568 1570 1586 1594 1608 1609 1707 question first answered 05/07/2017 09:44:33 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
