    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Transparency 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 Public Contracts Regulations 2015 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 the relevant authority by 00:00 Friday 16th August 2024 This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a <br/>contract to Primary Eye Care Services for a period of 3 years plus 1 x 24 months optional extension, for Optometry Led Community Eye Care Services, under the competitive process of the PSR. <br/>The award decision was reached through a process of individual evaluation and panel moderated evaluation. The evaluators included but were not limited to, subject matter experts in the following areas: <br/>Optometry commissioning<br/>Patient perspective<br/>Equality & Diversity<br/>Quality<br/>IM&T - IT<br/>Regional Optometry/London Eye Health Network <br/>Medicines Management - Clinical (qualified Pharmacist)<br/>Service operational - Borough representation<br/>Consultant - Clinical representation<br/>Optometry practice (practicing Optometrist)<br/>GP Clinical - Clinical representation<br/>All Evaluators were assessed for any<br/>potential Conflict of Interest in relation to the procurement of the services. There were no conflicts declared, with the exception of one potential conflict declared by an individual who in a previous role as Senior Programme Lead: Optical Services Commissioning in the National Primary Care Team, NHS England, was invited, (along with 2 others), by the current Primary Eye Care Service Development Director, to develop the national CUES service specification in response to the pandemic. This work was initiated in <br/>March 2020 and lasted for 3 weeks. There has been no contact between either individual since this work ended. <br/>The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this potential conflict. The decision was taken that the individual would continue his their role as evaluator, for this procurement process, with no specific limits or exclusions of involvement.<br/>It was considered that appropriate and proportionate mitigation(s) were already in place within the procurement <br/>process, details as follows;<br/>1. This person is taking part in the evaluation of this procurement, along with multiple others. All their individual scores and comments are shared with <br/>other evaluators, and are moderated along with other evaluators, at group moderation sessions, comprising of at least 3 other panel members.<br/>2. This person attended evaluation training, presented by Procurement. The training included the importance of evaluators to maintain confidentiality throughout all aspects of process and, fair and equal treatment of all Bidders. The training also made clear that evaluators must not consider any previous experience and/or knowledge of a bidder.<br/>Also, it was assessed that this type of prior contact between persons involved in the current procurement, was on a professional basis only, and is typical and is likely, to occur within the Optical sector and the NHS. The award decision was approved in accordance with the NWL ICB standing financial instructions by the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer.",
