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 the end of Monday 22nd June 2026, via email at: procurement@southampton.gov.uk . This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The award decision makers are officers of Southampton City Council, specifically those working within the Council's Public Health and Commissioning (Community & Wellbeing) sections. No actual or potential conflicts of interest were declared by individuals making the decision to award this contract. The relative importance of the key criteria, each weighted as a percentage out of 100, were as follows: Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice 23%; Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability 23%; Quality & Innovation 26%; Value 18%; Social Value 10%. The relative importance of each key criteria was determined by consideration of the importance of each in relation to the importance of the others, and in terms of their relative essentiality to the delivery of the specification requirements. The selection of the provider to whom the contract is intended to be awarded was based on assessment of their current and likely future service delivery of the contract and its specification against each of the key criteria: This assessment concluded that the provider had satisfactorily delivered the existing contract in the respect to each of the key criteria and would likely continue to do so in respect of the new contract that the Council intends to award the provider.",
