The assessment places most emphasis on service quality and innovation, so bids should demonstrate how the proposed model supports effective outcomes. Strong integration and collaboration with relevant partners, sustainable service delivery, and practical approaches to improving access and reducing health inequalities are also central. Providers should show how they will facilitate choice and address equality, diversity and inclusion, while setting out credible social value commitments.
