For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the Standstill Period. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to: [email protected] Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by midnight on the 29 June 2026. The award decision was made by the NHS Greater Manchester Primary Care, Contract and Commissioning Group (PCCC), which included the following individuals; Director of Primary Care - NHS Greater Manchester, Assistant Director of Finance - Primary Care & Estates, Director of Transformation and Partnerships , Director of Finance , Chief Finance Officer - Health and Social Integration , Community Pharmacy Integration and Commissioning Portfolio Lead, Executive Director, Health and Adult Care and Deputy Place Lead - NHS GM (Bury). The Relevant Authority, as part of the Direct Award C process, have reviewed the key criteria. The evidence shows that the Provider can satisfy the proposed new contract. The information gathered evidences that the incumbent provider meets the key criteria and gives assurance that they can continue to provide the service within the new contract. The current Provider is providing a quality service which meets the needs of the population they serve and is continually addressing and reducing inequalities in both service, access and outcomes. It shows the current provider is treating both patients and staff with equality and are continually seeking improvements in social value including their environment. All involved in the process completed a conflict of interest declaration. No conflicts were identified.
