"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this 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 the end of 28th February 2026. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be made to: tanya.clarke@jpaget.nhs.uk. The award decision is made by Operational Directors and contracting team at the James Paget University NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust. There are no conflicts. The key criteria for making this decision is the contractor's ability to: Steer appropriate patients away from or out of highly pressured EDs, to co-located GP led Primary Care Services and ensure the following: * Patients receive the care that they need * Performance against the four hour standard improves, whilst making sure that those patients who need a GP can see them. The evaluation was set against the contractor's ability to: * Create a separate and independent Primary Care service, much like a GP Branch Practice, located at the front door of ED. * To release pressure from the ED department * Reduce breach rates in minors * To select clinically appropriate patients who walk in/self-present through the front door of ED and offer them a Primary Care type appointment. Also considered is that the primary interdependency relates to the links with Primary Care. The sub-contractor is expected to have regard to all service conditions which relate to the interface between Primary and Secondary Care which are listed under Schedule 2G and also available in the Service Conditions of the NHS Sub-Contract (full length). All of these separate criteria are essential to the provision of this service which on analysis of the contractor's performance have been met and the continuation of which is in the best interests of patient care.",
