    "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 Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to: Procurement Team Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust Email: ghnt.psr@nhs.net Representations must be received by midnight on Thursday 16th July 2026. 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. Decision Makers The contract award decision was made following evaluation by an appropriately constituted evaluation panel, moderation process and approval in accordance with Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust governance arrangements. The decision makers were: * Alyson Duncan, Service Line Manager * James McCourt, Breast Screening Services * David Tate, Service Line Manager - Surgery, Women's Health and Children Potential Conflicts of interest identified among the evaluation panel: 1. The evaluator with the potential conflict of interest was removed from the process. The Authority was satisfied that the conflict was appropriately managed and did not compromise the integrity of the procurement. Relative Importance of the Key Criteria The Authority determined that Quality & Innovation (40%) should carry the highest weighting due to the critical importance of safe, effective and clinically governed delivery of symptomatic breast one-stop diagnostic services. Value (30%) reflected the requirement to ensure efficient use of NHS resources whilst maintaining service quality and delivering demonstrable value for money. Access & Inequalities (15%) reflected the importance of equitable access to cancer diagnostic services and compliance with NHS objectives relating to reducing health inequalities. Integration & Sustainability (10%) reflected the need for the service to operate as an extension of existing Trust pathways, governance arrangements and operational systems. Social Value (5%) reflected the Authority's objective of securing wider benefits for it's service users and wider community beyond the core service requirement. Rationale for Selection of Provider A total of fourteen bids were received and evaluated against the published award criteria. Following evaluation and moderation, Your Medical Services Ltd (YMS) achieved the highest overall moderated score of 98.75 out of 100 and was therefore identified as the preferred provider. The successful provider demonstrated: * Comprehensive breast specialist experience and delivery of established breast one-stop services. * Strong clinical governance and workforce resilience arrangements. * A highly developed and evidenced value proposition. * Extensive experience integrating services within NHS pathways. * A comprehensive approach to access, equality and reducing barriers to care. * Credible social value commitments linked to elective recovery and pathway performance. The Authority concluded that Your Medical Services Ltd provided the highest level of assurance against the published evaluation criteria and represented the provider best able to deliver safe, effective, sustainable and high-quality symptomatic breast one-stop diagnostic services for Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust.",
