NHS England - North West, Health and Justice (the Relevant Authority) Direct Commissioning Committee (DCC) were the award decision-makers. Three responses were received. The Relevant Authority agreed the relative importance of the key criteria and apportioned weightings to specific questions aligned to the key criteria. Providers were asked to demonstrate and evidence, by responding to the specific questions, how their proposed service delivery model would ensure that the relevant key criteria will be delivered. The responses were evaluated in relation to each provider's ability to provide the services in alignment to the 5 Key Criteria. Conflicts of interest were completed by all involved in the process. One conflicts of interest was identified among the group of evaluators. The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this conflict, and have decided to exclude the evaluator from the process.",
