Written representations should be sent to: hub.psrrepresentation@nhs.net Award Decision makers: NHS South West London Integrated Care Board - Contracting and Procurement Group No conflicts of interest were declared. The selection criteria and weightings were determined based on key priorities to ensure high-quality, sustainable, and accessible care. Quality & Innovation (25%) was assigned the highest priority, as maintaining high standards of palliative and end-of-life care is essential. Provider was assessed on their adherence to NICE guidelines, and Ambitions Framework, evidence-based clinical practices, and their ability to innovate through digital health solutions, personalised care models, and alternative therapies. Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability (25%) was equally weighted, reflecting the importance of partnerships with NHS services and fostering collaboration across systems. Provider was evaluated on their multidisciplinary working, information-sharing, and ability to ensure long-term service sustainability in response to workforce and policy challenges. Value (20%) was assessed to ensure services are financially viable and cost-effective, balancing high-quality care with efficient use of resources, ensuring the provider can sustain operations without compromising care. Access, Reducing Health Inequalities & Facilitating Choice (20%) was prioritised to ensure equitable service provision for all patient groups, particularly those from underserved or deprived communities. Provider was assessed on their ability to deliver flexible, community-based care, culturally competent services, and patient-led end-of-life planning to support dignity and choice. Finally, Social Value (10%) was included to recognise the broader economic, social, and environmental contributions of hospice provider. This encompassed volunteer engagement, sustainability initiatives, and support for local communities, ensuring hospices deliver wider benefits beyond direct patient care. All scores have been completed and all Pass/Fail criteria have been successfully met.",
