- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Insourced Services Managed Services Solution on behalf of UHL” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

The successful bidder covered the full requirements of the question and demonstrated that they have the resources and structure in place to offer a service to the standard required by the Contracting Authority.<br/> <br/>For the second question in this section (Case Study), the successful bidder scored an `Excellent` in line with the scoring criteria, covering all aspects of the question, offering a high level of detail and demonstrating the capability and experience in a manner which exceeded the requirements of the specification and question requirements.<br/> <br/>Value was 40% of the weighting and focused on overall % discount from tariff, following the same model evaluated at framework level to gain the best financial outcome for the authority in the delivery of this contract.<br/> <br/>The successful bidder scored the highest on value, providing the highest level of discount from tariff amongst all bidders.<br/> <br/>The authority focused on Integration and collaboration, placing emphasis on how bidders are to effectively implement the service in time for contract start. The authority focused on key elements of implementation including; key tasks and objectives, resources allocation, staffing support, facilitation of handover with other providers and mitigation plans in relation to delays.<br/> <br/>The successful bidder scored a `good` for the singular question in this section (Mobilisation) covering all aspects of the question with a level of detail that offered a strong degree of confidence that the bidder is able to mobilise to the standard required by the Contracting Authority.<br/> <br/>For Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice, the authority focused on how bidders could support accessibility for services for patients, ensure flexibility of services and how bidders will support patients with additional needs throughout the patient pathway. The authority also focused on how bidders were to deal with cancellations.<br/> <br/>The successful bidder scored a `good` for the singular question in this section (Improving Patient Access) covering the full requirements of the question and providing clear initiatives and examples to support their response in improving access for the patient and supporting the patient.<br/> <br/>A social value theme of Tackling Economic Inequality was chosen by the authority, which focused on how bidders could commit to creating employment opportunities in the East Midlands region, throughout the duration of the contract delivery, focusing on sub-contracting, employment of local workforce and/or apprenticeships or work placements.<br/> <br/>The successful bidder scored a `satisfactory` for the singular question in this section (Tackling Economic Inequality), broadly meeting what was expected for the criteria, with no significant areas of concern.<br/> <br/>Overall, the successful bidder scored the highest across all bidders, considering the 5 criteria of the Provider Selection Regime 2023 as weighted by the authority.
