A breakdown of the relative importance of the 5 key criteria are specified in the procurement documents. High level overview: Exclusion and Basic selection criteria (Procurement Specific Questionnaire - Pass/Fail) Key Criteria (ITT Questionnaire - Pass/Fail and Scored (88.00%)) Key Criteria (Bidder Presentation and Interview Stage - Scored (12.00%)) Rationale for choosing the provider: Following full evaluation of the tenders and the interview process, a single consolidated score was established. The preferred bidder is the bidder that achieved the highest combined score against the key criteria and thereby demonstrated that their tender is the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). They have also achieved a 'Pass' score for the exclusion criteria and the basic selection criteria. To safeguard against potential conflicts of interest influencing the procurement process and evaluations, all panel members signed conflict of interest declarations and non-disclosure agreements. Project members and Evaluators were informed of their role and the importance of the confidential nature of this procurement. No material conflicts were declared. In addition, as part of the bid response all Bidders were required to submit conflict declarations in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. No material conflicts were declared. On the basis of the received declarations, The Authority and the NHS London Commercial Hub hosted by NHS North East London assured that the process has been conducted free of conflicts.",
