    "description": "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 decision makers by midnight 02/08/2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. written representation must be sent to caphprocurement@lancashire.gov.uk Award decision-makers: Lancashire County Council Cabinet Key Criteria: * Quality and innovation (30%) - The quality and innovation elements have been assigned based on the importance of improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and service user satisfaction which means applying new ideas, methods, or technologies to enhance the quality standards, processes, and outcomes. It is expected that services delivered under the NHS quality standards are safe, effective, provide a positive experience, are well led, sustainable resourced, and equitable. Considering the quality of services provided and innovative approaches alongside the mandated delivery of Consultant-led sexual health services led to a decision to weight this element at 30%. * Value (30%) - The Local Authority needs to ensure value for money. As a high-value contract, commissioners need to ensure that delivery is cost-effective and efficient. Considering the overall value as well as the cost-effectiveness of their services, a weighting of 30% for this criterion is applicable. * Integration, collaboration, and service sustainability (15%) - There is a requirement for the provider to demonstrate strengths in integrating with existing services, collaborating with other organisations, and ensuring the sustainability of their services over time. therefore, a weighting of 15% was applied to this criterion. * Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice (15%) - There is a requirement for the Provider to demonstrably enhance accessibility to care and reduce disparities in healthcare delivery through an inclusive ethos. This means ensuring the best experience possible for service users. As a service with a significant clinical dimension, this criterion therefore enhances both quality and value for money therefore a weighting of 15% is applicable for this criterion. * Social value (10%) - There must be a clear focus on opportunities to increase access to healthcare, reduce health inequalities, promote patient choice, and address social needs. A weighting of 10% for this criterion is applicable in line with the Authority's Social Value Strategy. Rationale for choosing the provider: The relevant authority (Lancashire County Council) is of the view that the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria.",
