The award decision was made jointly by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and Dorset Council following assessment by an evaluation panel . All individuals involved in the assessment and award decision were required to declare any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest prior to participating in the evaluation process. No conflicts of interest were identified that would have affected the integrity of the assessment process. The authorities assessed providers against the key criteria set out within the Provider Selection Regime, giving greatest importance to the provider's ability to deliver safe, effective and high-quality sexual health services that meet the needs of the population across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and Dorset. The relative importance of the key criteria reflected the strategic objectives of the service and the requirement to ensure continuity of care, improved health outcomes, accessibility, integration with wider health and care services, value for money and social value. Clinical quality, service delivery capability and population health outcomes were considered of higher importance than cost considerations due to the critical nature of the service and the need to maintain safe and effective provision. The selected provider was considered to offer the most advantageous solution when assessed against the key criteria. The provider demonstrated a strong track record of delivering integrated sexual health services, evidenced high levels of clinical quality and patient outcomes, robust arrangements for partnership working across the local health system, and the capacity and capability required to meet current and future service requirements. The authorities were satisfied that the provider represented the most suitable provider in accordance with the Provider Selection Regime. The authorities gave greatest importance to Quality and Innovation (40%), Value for Money (30%), Integration, Collaboration and Sustainability (10%), Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice (10%) and Social Value (10%). The relative weightings reflected the need to secure high-quality, accessible and integrated sexual health services whilst ensuring sustainability and value for money. The successful provider achieved the highest overall assessment, particularly in respect of quality, clinical outcomes, accessibility and integration with wider health and care services.
