"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 under the PSR. Written Representations should be sent to kmicb.contracts@nhs.net by the 13th February 2026. The decision makers for award in this instance are the NHS Kent and Medway ICB Executive Board. All potential conflicts of interest were managed in accordance with the ICB's Declaration of Interests Policy and related governance procedures. All relevant parties are required to declare any actual or perceived conflicts, and appropriate steps be taken to record, review, and manage them in line with national guidance. No conflicts were identified during the process. The Contracting Authority is intending to award the contract to an existing provider following a direct award process C. The existing provider is satisfying the requirements of the original contract. The provider has been assessed against the criteria specified for this DAP C process, and the supplier meets the requirements specified, and it is expected that they will satisfy the requirements of the new contract. The incumbent provider is currently meeting contractual requirements in line with the service specification. All five key criteria were assigned equal weighting of 20%, reflecting the balanced importance of each in the context of the service being commissioned. For clarity the key criteria and weights are as follows: key criteria 1. Quality and innovation - 20% key criteria 2. Value - 20% key criteria 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 20% key criteria 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 20% key criteria 5. Social value - 20% The basic selection criteria were assessed through a structured review of the provider's financial standing, technical capability, regulatory compliance, and service track record. These assessments confirmed the provider's suitability and capacity to deliver against the contract requirements. The incumbent provider is currently meeting contractual requirements in line with the service specification. This approach ensured a holistic assessment across integration and sustainability, access and inequality reduction, service quality, social value, and alignment with local and national priorities",
