This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. - Details of the award decision-makers: NHS LNR ICB cluster Committees Meeting in Common for Finance and Contracting 03 March 2026 - How conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision were managed: None were declared - Explanation of the relative importance of the PSR's key criteria: • Quality and innovation The reporting requirements and submitted activity are reviewed as part of contract monitoring meetings. There are no quality issues in terms of the providers delivering the services. • Value This service offers value financially and to the local healthcare community as patients continue to access services within a primary care setting across three sites, which reduces demand on more costly services such as ED. The value and benefits of the arrangement with the provider(s) is that they are an experienced provider who understands the needs of these patients, and therefore is able to oversee and understand the service with regard to patient outcomes. These contacts are developed with an annual payment with the terms based on an indicative number of annual (housebound and ambulatory) patients. • Integration, collaboration (improving access) and service sustainability The individual providers have demonstrated an understanding of the needs for specific population. Moreover, this approach of the providers in terms of the integration and collaboration with colleagues and providers in primary and secondary care to provide this service locally for the benefit of their patients remain an important element of the success of this service. • Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice An important component of the availability and accessibility of the service is that it is delivered to reflect patients' needs whenever possible, taking account of the general service requirement. • Social value The service supports social value by providing an anticoagulation therapy in a setting that reduces pressure in secondary care and therefore offers environmental gains through reducing patient journeys to manage their healthcare needs.
