Descriptions

In August 2019, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group and Associated Commissioners awarded a contract for a Non-Emergency Patient Transportation Service (NEPTS) following a formal OJEU open procurement procedure. For reference, the OJEU document number for the contract notice (published on 5 April 2019) is 2019/S 068-159843; and the OJEU document number for the contract award notice (published on 13 September 2019) is 2019/S 177-431649. The contract duration is five (5) years, with the option to extend for a further two (2) years, subject to agreement; the contract start date was 1 April 2020; and the total contract value was GBP 24 942 410.00 for the initial 5-year contract period. Further to contract commencement on 1 April 2020, the above named commissioning body has become aware of additional activity not included in the formal competitive tender exercise, therefore, a contract variation (i.e., contract modification) has been made.
