"description": "The decision to award this contract in line with Competitive Process was based on evaluation against the basic selection criteria (in the form of a Selection Questionnaire), which was assessed on a pass/fail basis, and the PSR 5 key criteria, which were assessed on a 0-4 scale, with the below weightings. Several tender questions were asked under each of the key criteria. Quality & Innovation - 41% Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 19% Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 20% Social Value - 10% Value - 10% After conducting a thorough Competitive Process, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS England South East is content that Hugh Steeper Limited's bid sufficiently met the key criteria and thus can proceed to contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Award decisions have been recommended by the Specialised Commissioning Senior Management Team. There were two potential declarations of conflict of interest made via the conflict of interest process and recorded accordingly. However, both were deemed as for information only, i.e. on review were not considered as conflicts. 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 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 3rd June 2025. 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. This procurement has been carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Written representations should be sent to scwcsu.procurement@nhs.net",
