This balanced approach ensured that every critical aspect of the service was considered thoroughly. The criteria were: 1. Quality and Innovation (20%): Emphasising the importance of delivering high-quality care and the potential for new and significant improvements through proven innovations in care delivery. 2. Value (20%) Focusing on balancing costs with overall benefits and financial implications, ensuring the service was cost-effective without compromising quality. 3.

Social Value (20%): Considering the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the area, including moving towards net zero and delivering social value in procurement.
