This Intention to Award Notice is issued in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Regulation 9, Direct Award C. The Procurement relates to the provision of GP Services at Marrow House. NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) currently holds a contract with the Birches Head Medical Centre for the provision of GP Services at Marrow House.

The estimated contract value is PS60,000.00 for the initial 2-year period. Should the ICB exercise their right to extend the total contract value is estimated at PS90,000.00.

Written representation can be sent to: governance@staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk Details of the award decision makers: NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB Procurement Operational Group (POG) on 17/03/2026. Details of declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision and how these were managed: The POG agreement and approval processes seek to identify any Conflicts of Interest and, if declared, these are documented and managed according to SSOT ICB policy. Persons with known or declared Conflicts of Interest would be excluded from the decision- making process. In this case, no conflicts were declared by any members of the ICB's POG. Relative importance of the key criteria that the relevant authority used to make a decision, the rationale for the relative importance of the key criteria, and the rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria: Equal weighting and prioritisation were given to each of the key criteria as all key criteria are deemed to be of equal importance when considering the direct award. A basic selection criterion was applied to assess the providers suitability, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Based on the key criteria the provider was deemed to be delivering the service to a satisfactory standard and would likely continue to deliver the service to a satisfactory standard during the period covered for this award.",
