Integrated activities to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities in North East Essex

NHS North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (‘the Authority’) has sought to commission a service to support the delivery and achievement of outcomes linked to reducing inequalities, supporting skills, educational aspiration and promoting engagement with communities, covering the population of North East Essex for a period of 6 months, from 20th March 2022 until 19th September 2022. There is a possibility that after the initial 6 month term, the agreement gets extended by a further 6 months, therefore the maximum contract duration will be for 12 months. The contract value is £624,000 over the six month term, and VAT will not be applicable. Even if the contract is extended by a further six months, the contract value will remain unchanged at £624,000. A voluntary ex ante transparency notice relating to this matter was published on 24 Mar 2022.
