The evaluator replaced was a patient of a provider that bid under stage 1. <br/><br/>The other conflict was not deemed a valid conflict and the evaluator was allowed to continue.<br/> <br/>This evaluator had previously been employed by two of the stage 1 bidders, and the mitigations put in place were that there was no current relationship with the previous employers other than professional contract management, that there would be multiple evaluators, and all evaluated bids would progress through robust independent moderation. <br/><br/>The Key Criteria were weighted as follows;<br/><br/>• Quality & Innovation – 49.00%<br/>• Value – 9.00%<br/>• Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability – 18.00%<br/>• Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice – 14.00%<br/>• Social Value – 10.00%<br/><br/>The weighting of the key criteria have been deemed by the commissioner to be the most suitable for this service with Quality & Innovation being weighted the highest at 49%. This is a high level clinical service and the quality of such service is consequently a higher priority to the Commissioner in terms of patient care and outcomes. <br/><br/>In their respective lots the preferred providers scored a pass on all of the pass / fail questions within the Basic Selection Criteria and for the Key Criteria Section 2: Value and Section 3: Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability questions. The preferred providers also scored the highest overall for the Key Criteria Questions (Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) against the published scoring criteria (set out at paragraph 27.3.2 of the Competitive Process – Overview and Instructions).
