    "description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract 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 the relevant authority by 11:59:59 p.m. 11 August 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to NENC ICB at nencicb.procurement@nhs.net. Service requirements were measured and assessed against the 5 Key Criteria of the PSR 2023 and weighted as follows with the rationale being the focus on providing an integrated model that meets new requirements for Urgent and Emergency Care as set out by the Urgent and Emergency Care Network of NENC ICB. The Relevant Authority considered the service requirements, the relative importance of each of the PSR 2023 5 key criteria against the contracting arrangements, and what beneficial outcomes need to be achieved from the services. This information was used to determine what evidence would be assessed to confirm alignment with the 5 key criteria as follows: Quality and Innovation 33.61% Value 9.76% Integration and Collaboration 16.27% Improved Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 3.25% Social Value 10.00% Service Specific Questions 27.11% Following publication of a PIN on 16 April 2025 inviting Expressions of Interest, the Relevant Authority assessed all responses and requested and provided evidence against the published 5 key Criteria and service specific criteria to evidence the identified most suitable provider's suitability. Following assessment, review, recommendation for Award Decision, and an Award Decision was requested and received through the following NENC ICB governance process: Sunderland Place Subcommittee - 06 June 2025 South Tyneside Alliance Committee - 12 June 2025 Contracting & Procurement SubCommittee- 26 June 2025 NENC ICB Executive Committee - 08 July 2025 NENC ICB Board Approval - 29 July 2025 Conflicts of interests were managed throughout the process. Potential conflicts of interests identified among potential project team members were assessed by non-conflicted members. Individuals who identified a potential perceived conflict of interest were not given access to project documents or included in project discussions until it was confirmed they did not have a conflict. Two individuals listed potential conflicts with providers who did not respond to the PIN or submit an Expression of Interest and at no point were an identified potential most suitable provider either before or during assessment and recommendation. All five governance committee meetings were briefed on the potential for conflicts of interests and conflicts with committee and board members were managed with any identified potential/perceived conflicted individuals not receiving copies of the MSP Outcome report and that member being asked to and agreeing to remove themselves from the meeting where the review and recommendation approval of the MSP process Outcome and agreement of the identification of the Most Suitable Provider was completed.",
