PRJ-999 City and Hackney CCG Primary Care Mental Health Alliance

This is an alliance contract which was set between volunteer sector and NHS Trusts and is intended to increase access to an integrated patient-centred service for the improvement of the wellbeing of the City and Hackney residents. City and Hackney CCG is undergoing a merger with 6 other CCGs on 1-Apr-2021 and is intending to issue a short extension (6 months) to all contracts expiring on 31-Mar-2021 to provide continuity during the merger. This is under regulation 72(b)(i) and 72(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because a change of contractor cannot be made for technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience for the CCG.
