Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a statement that this notice is an intention to award a contract under the most suitable provider process. South Tees Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) plan on utilising the Most Suitable Provider Process to award a contract to the incumbent provider, for the provision of GP Services within their region of Richmond, As required by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) (Health Care Services Regulation 2023), this document outlines the supplier's performance against the key criteria and the likelihood of the supplier satisfying the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The Trusts has also considered the basic selection criteria to ensure suitability, good financial standing and that the supplier has the relevant technical and professional ability.

Reasons for rational :

Direct award A - The incumbent provider delivering the services is doing so to a high standard that the trust wishes to maintain, and we are not entering into a framework agreement. There are other providers who could arrange to provide GP services in the area, which is why subsection (b) is not applicable.

Direct award B - The services provided under the contract are to provide GP support services and there is no requirement for patient choice as only one supplier is required. There are other providers who look after other areas in the region but as the incumbent supplier looks after a small rural area, it would not be appropriate/advantageous to award to more than one provider. Direct Award B is not suitable for this exercise.

Direct award C - Trust considerations:
We have established that Direct Award A and B or not appropriate to this exercise. The Trust have an incumbent provider and are proposing to award a new contract as the current agreement has expired, which excludes route C through requirement 'B' in the above table, even though the proposed contract will be for the same scope as the existing agreement.

Recommendation:

The Trust has selected the most suitable provider route to award the proposed contract. Due to the specific nature of the requirement, there would be no value gained from running a competitive process.

The above details on the approach were approved by the senior leadership team at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

Additional information :
- This opportunity was previously placed under FTS-012789 but has been released again due to changes.
- There were no conflict of interests declared from any internal stakeholders. Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach 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 trust confirm that it intends to award a contract using the most suitable provider process to the incumbent provider of the service.
