Swindon Adult Community Services

Great Western Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (GWH) has been delivering Adult Community Health Services in Swindon since 2016, when it won the services following a public procurement (OJEU reference 2016/S 054-090583). The current contract is due to end in February 2022. Although Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) is the lead commissioner, Swindon Borough Council (SBC) are also a co-commissioner to the contract, with some services delivered to support SBC needs (to the value of around £1m per year). The total combined value of the contract is £19.7m per year, or just under £40m over the two-year period. On 13 July 2021, the CCG made a decision to re-let the Swindon Adult Community Health Services contract to GWH for a further 2-year period until February 2024. On 1 December 2021, SBC made the decision to re-let their element of the contract for Swindon Adult Community Health Services contract to GWH for a further 2-year period until February 2024. Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 has been relied on.

This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the CCG and SBC.
