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 decision makers by 13th January 2025 to the following email address: primarycareteam@staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The decision makers for this process were Primary Care Forum, Procurement Operational Group and Finance and Performance Committee. There were no conflicts of interests declared in reaching the decision to award. The incumbent provider was considered against the 5 key criteria and a larger weighting was given to key criteria 2 (value) and key criteria 4 (improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice). This is due to the negative quality impacts for patients in the more deprived areas of Essington with Essington being in the 4th most deprived area of South Staffordshire. . The assessment against each criterion was undertaken based on the current service delivery model and performance. The supplier meets all the requirements specified to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, and it is expected that they will satisfy the requirements of the new contract going forwards.",
