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 Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. 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. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 19th October 2026. Written representations should be sent to [email protected] Details of the individual/individuals making the decision: The decision was made by the Chief Financial Officer of NCL ICB and Chief Executive Officer of NCL ICB Rationale for the relative importance of key criteria: The procurement evaluation criteria were structured to ensure an appropriate balance between the key criteria. The overall weighting was distributed as follows: Key Criteria Area; Weighting (%) Quality and Innovation; 34% Value (Price); 20% Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability; 24% Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice; 12% Social Value; 10% Total; 100% Social Value was weighted at 10%, in line with the mandated minimum requirement for procurements. Price was weighted at 20%, providing sufficient competition on cost while avoiding over emphasis on price at the expense of service quality and patient outcomes. Quality and Innovation carried the highest weighting at 34%, reflecting the clinical importance, safety considerations, and the need for innovative approaches in the delivery of audiological services. A further 12% was allocated to Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice, recognising the critical role of audiology services in addressing disparities in access, supporting patient choice, and improving population health outcomes. The Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability criterion was weighted at 24%, reflecting the importance of providers working effectively with system partners, integrating services across pathways, and demonstrating long term sustainability in service delivery. Overall, the weighting structure was designed to ensure that the procurement prioritised high quality, accessible, and sustainable audiology services, while maintaining appropriate value for money. Rationale for choosing the provider: Tenders were assessed using the published ITT criteria to determine the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), based on quality and cost. The highest scored bidder per Lot was selected as Preferred Bidder for contract award. All members were required to complete COI forms and there were no material conflicts of interest.
