    "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 decision makers by 23:59hrs 5 May 2026. Provider representations in relation to this intention to award notice should be submitted in writing to hnyicb.procurement@nhs.net This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The contract award was approved by the Chief Executive and Executive Director of Finance and Investment. No conflicts of interest have been declared in relation to the contract award. The criteria applied to this intention to award was: Basic Selection Criteria - Mandatory and Discretionary Grounds - Suitability to pursue activity - Technical and professional ability Key Criteria Quality - 30% Quality is weighted highest because it represents the core purpose of the service - delivering safe, effective, patient centred care with the ability to adapt and improve. A higher weighting ensures providers who demonstrate strong clinical governance, innovation and measurable outcomes are appropriately prioritised. Innovation - 10% Criterion weighting reflects the needs to ensure innovation is considered as part of the assessment, however, focus is given to assess quality and integration as part of effective service delivery. Value - 20% Value is weighted moderately to capture efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 20% The criterion is weighted moderately to account for the collaboration requirement within the wider health and care system partners to ensure effective service delivery. Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 10% The criterion weighting reflects the need to balance equitable access whilst addressing local health inequalities, and ensuring the service is configured around population needs. Social Value - 10% Social Value is weighted at the required minimum standard and ensure providers contribute to local economic, social and environmental wellbeing, while maintaining focus on core service outcomes. NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB has conducted an assessment of the Provider against the stated Basic Selection Criteria and Key Criteria and considers that the existing provider is satisfying its current existing contract, will likely satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard, and the proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably.",
