    "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 standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 31st January 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.<br/><br/>If you have wish to make a written representation regarding this intention to award please contact: ddicb.mhldaprogram@nhs.net.<br/><br/>The award decision has been made by the NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB Governing Body on 16th January 2025.<br/><br/>There were no declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision.<br/><br/>The relative importance of the Key Criteria incorporated within the service was as follows:<br/>1. Quality and Innovation: 43.00%<br/>2. Value: 30.00%<br/>3. Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability: 3.00%<br/>4. Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice: 14.00%<br/>5. Social Value: 10.00%<br/><br/>The relative importance of the Key Criteria was deemed appropriate based on the requirements of the service. It should be noted that whilst the Quality and Innovation Key Criteria was weighted highest, elements incorporated within this section also crossed over with other Key Criteria aspects, particularly Integration, Collaboration and Improving Access. <br/><br/>The rationale for awarding to the preferred provider was that they met all requirements associated with the Basic Selection Criteria and Key Criteria, clearly demonstrating their ability to deliver the requirements of the service within their submission, and they ranked as the highest scoring provider, based on their overall Key Criteria score, within this Provider Selection Process.",
