Publisher note: This is a Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 5th August 2026.. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR Wales. Written representations by providers must be made to decision makers by E-mail: Marisa Riley – [email protected] Jane Boult – [email protected] The award decision-makers comprised representatives from the Primary Care Clinical Board, supported by Procurement, the Assistant Director of Primary Care and Deputy Clinical Board Director, and the Clinical Director for Quality, Safety and Governance. The evaluation panel confirmed that both bidders met all mandatory selection requirements and accepted the proposed contractual terms. Tender responses were assessed against the published award criteria of Commercial (30%), Technical Quality (55%) and Social Value (15%), reflecting the Health Board's commitment to securing a high-quality, patient-focused and outcomes-driven service. Following evaluation, Ashgrove Medical Group achieved the highest overall score and was identified as offering the most economically advantageous tender. Whilst both bidders demonstrated the capability to deliver the service, Ashgrove Medical Group's submission achieved the highest combined score when all evaluation criteria and weightings were applied. The provider also submitted the most competitive commercial proposal, which contributed significantly to its overall ranking. The evaluation panel concluded that Ashgrove Medical Group offered the best overall value for money and represented the optimum combination of quality and cost. The award decision was therefore supported by the evaluation outcomes and was reached transparently, fairly and in accordance with the published evaluation methodology. No providers were excluded from the procurement process. Potential conflicts of interest were identified within the original evaluation panel. To ensure the integrity, transparency and impartiality of the evaluation process, the panel membership was revised and the tender responses were assessed by an alternative evaluation panel with no identified conflicts of interest. Information that has not been published and is withheld under regulation 23(1) due to commercial sensitivity (WA Ref:168099)
