Publisher note: Confirmation was provided that that Direct Award Process A and Direct Award Process B were not applicable for this service. Given that the incumbent provider had not previously undergone competition for this contract, Direct Award Process C could not be followed. The Most Suitable Provider process was not a viable option due to being unable to identify a suitable provider. Confirmation was provided that NHSE South West did not wish to establish a framework agreement and that the service was not a mixed procurement, in turn, it was concluded that the Competitive Process was the best route to market. Award decisions have been recommended by NHS England. The decision to award this contract in line with Competitive Process was based on evaluation against the basic selection criteria, which was assessed on a pass/fail basis, and the 5 key criteria, which were assessed on a 0-4 scale (see section 10), with the below weightings. 1. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability (40%) 2. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (45%) 3. Quality and Innovation (5%) 4. Social Value (10%) 5. Value (Pass/Fail) No Conflicts of interest were identified among anyone who was involved in the process. 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 publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 4th March. 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. Written representations should be sent to [email protected]
