This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR. Written representations should be sent to ProcurementandCommercial@cambridgeshire.gov.uk FAO Thomas Clarke. Award decision makers: Award of contract was approved by Cambridgeshire County Council's Head of Service - Fostering. Conflicts of Interest - No conflict of interested were declared prior to, or during, the preparation of the tender excise, the evaluation or moderation period or the award of the contract. Relative importance of the key criteria: The decision was made through an evaluation methodology covering the 5 criterion. The greatest weighting were applied to quality and innovation and value. Quality and Innovation was weighted highly as it was imperative that due to the nature of the service specification and expectations regarding delivery requirements, quality is considered the most important component. This was followed by value to ensure that the service will be delivered within the available financial envelope and for the bidder to provide the local authority with assurances that there will be robust financial and performance monitoring. Added value was considered though social value, recognising the importance of a providers wider contribution to the councils ambitions and benefits to local residents.",
