    "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. 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. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 23:59pm on the 26.11.2025. Written representations should be sent to: hub.psrrepresentation@nhs.net There were no conflicts of interest identified in the decision-making process. Relative Importance of the Key Criteria: Further information is provided in the associated procurement documents on the Atamis portal: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome Rationale for the Relative Importance of the Key Criteria: A cross-functional team were involved in delivering this project. The Authority set out to receive responses from suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to provide the range of services as set out in the Specification in a safe and effective manner. The Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) was based on the standard Cabinet Office document, with the ITT Questionnaires being comprised of a detailed scoring methodology, the weighting criteria was published within the ITT documentation in accordance with procurement regulations. Further information is provided in the associated procurement documents on the Atamis portal: https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome Rationale for Provider Selection: The Exclusions and Basic Selection Criteria responses were evaluated first, any bidder who failed the PSQ would not progress further in the procurement process and would be disqualified. All Providers passed the PSQ and progressed in the procurement. Providers were assessed against a threshold score of 55.00% of the available score. Based on the outcome of the evaluation, and in line with the criteria stipulated by the Authority within the documentation, it was recommended that the contract be awarded to the highest-scoring Bidder who exceeded the threshold score. Conflicts of Interest: 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.",
