Publisher note: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by midnight on Wednesday 30th October 2024 via the project (Atamis reference number: C255036) at: https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR. No conflicts of interest were declared. The award decision maker is the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board (ICB). The service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria: The key criteria were weighted as follows: Quality and innovation (30%), Value (10%), Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability (20%), Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (30%); Social Value (10%). Quality & Innovation: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting and reflects our commitment to delivering a service of the highest quality. It emphasises the importance of innovation and adaptability in meeting the evolving needs of patients while maintaining excellence in service delivery. Value: The criterion of "Value" holds significant importance as it underscores the necessity of achieving optimal value for public investment in a GP registered list and walk-in clinic. It is essential to ensure that resources are utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective services. Integration, Collaboration, and Service Sustainability: This criterion shares the second heaviest weighting, highlighting the critical role of integration and collaboration in enhancing health service delivery. It emphasises the importance of establishing cohesive system partnerships between providers, the local authority, acute services and with educational establishments to ensure the sustainability and long-term viability of the service. Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities, and Facilitating Choice: Also assigned the heaviest weighting, this criterion underscores our commitment to promoting equitable access to healthcare services for all patients, including children and young people. It emphasises the importance of addressing health inequalities and enhancing patient choice, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for all. Social Value: While weighted the lightest among the criteria, "Social Value" remains a crucial consideration in our evaluation process. It recognises the potential impact of service changes on the local healthcare workforce and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community.
