Or directly to Lynda.brookes@star-procurement.gov.uk The decision makers related to this process are: Sarah Smith Executive Director for Health and Social Care Duncan James Executive Director Resources There were no declared conflicts of interest. The relative importance of the key criteria is below Key Criteria 1. Quality and Innovation 30% Key Criteria 2. Value Pass/Fail Key Criteria 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability 40% Key Criteria 4. Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice 30% Key Criteria 5. Social Value - Pass/Fail Key criteria 2 and 5 were evaluated on a pass fail basis. All provider needed to meet the budget requirements of the contract and social value is so fundamental to the authority that providers failing to offer sufficiently innovative, measurable and deliverable social value would not be considered. Key 3 was given a slightly higher weighting than the remaining 2 criteria to reflect the importance of Integration, collaboration and sustainability. Without this the service would not succeed. Key criteria 1 and 4 could only be achieved if the chosen provider could successfully deliver key criteria 3. They were considered equally important and so the remaining 60% was distributed evenly between them. The chosen providers response to the Prior Invitation Notice (PIN) of intent to use most suitable provider process was reviewed by commissioners and met all the published criteria. As the incumbent provider already meeting key performance indicators within the existing contract there is the added confidence they will continue to innovate and deliver to the specification.",
