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 on Friday 24 January 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Representations should be sent to the Corporate Procurement Service, Solihull MBC via email procteam@solihull.gov.uk The award decision-maker(s) were: Director of Public Health, Education and Inclusion. Declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals: Conflicts of interest identified among service area officers: 1 The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this conflict and have decided which steps to take to avoid or manage it. The officer was not involved in the award decision and signed a confidentiality agreement that applies throughout the procurement process. Key criteria rationale: The relative importance of the key criteria is weighted to reflect that all key criteria are important to the successful delivery of the service, with a slightly higher weighting to quality and innovation as this is essential to a continued successful and responsive service. Key criteria 1 - Quality & Innovation (weighted 25%): Performance is strong and KPIs throughout the contract have been largely above the national average, with last year being particularly strong. A benchmarking exercise has shown that service delivery on Health Visiting development checks and service outcomes have been favourable compared to demographic and statistical neighbours. The Provider has consistently demonstrated innovation both in response to seeking service improvement and efficiencies. Key criteria 2 - Value (weighting 20%): The service has been delivered within the available budget for the duration of the contract. Skill-mix for the staffing teams has delivered efficiencies in addition to the use of digital platforms for some parent/carer sessions and training, and changes to reduce non-pay overheads. Levels of support for families is need-led, ensuring that families who need the support most receive the most intensive service response, translating to equitable service delivery. Key criteria 3 - Integration, collaboration and service sustainability (weighted 20%): As key public health workforce teams, staff in the service work in partnership with partner agencies (such as Council teams, other NHS services and local voluntary/community sector partners) as an absolute fundamental aspect of their approach. There is a clear expectation that the service teams will integrate to support the delivery of the wider early help approach for families, intervening before issues escalate. The Provider has demonstrated willingness to collaborate and have fully engaged with the Council and partners. Key criteria 4 - Improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice (weighted 20%): There is a clear expectation that the service delivery will include arrangements to improve access, reduce inequalities and facilitate choice. This includes requirements to identify needs and target most intensive support and improve ease of accessing the service. The Provider has demonstrated effective service design and delivery to address inequality and support engagement. The service has consistently been required to demonstrate how access is easy and user-friendly. Key criteria 5 - Social Value (weighted 15%): Specific deliverables have been agreed between the commissioner and provider with SMART objectives to ensure robust monitoring and delivery.",
