Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 8 April 2026. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent by email to: procurement@islington.gov.uk The award decision was taken by authorised officers at Islington Council in accordance with the Council's scheme of delegation. No conflicts of interest were declared by any individuals involved in the decision-making process. In accordance with the Provider Selection Regime, the relevant authority considered all five key criteria: quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and service sustainability; improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice; and social value. Given the nature of the service and the needs of a highly vulnerable cohort, particular importance was placed on integration with local NHS services, continuity of care, and the provider's ability to deliver the service within established clinical governance arrangements and local referral pathways. The provider was selected as it is the existing provider, is delivering the current contract to the required standard, and is assessed as likely to continue to meet the service requirements and key criteria under the proposed new contract, which does not involve a considerable change to the scope or nature of the service.",
