The decision makers were: Deputy Service Group Director - Clinical Support & Cancer Services
No conflicts of interest were declared among decision makers.
The key criteria were weighted as follows:
40% quality and Innovation
15% Value
20% Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability
15% Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice
10% Social value
Quality is the most important aspect of this service as the level of expertise is extremely hard to find and essential for providing second opinions on complex cancer patients. Integration and collaboration is also essential.
The rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria:
The existing suppliers are experienced services providers with a proven track record, and they are highly likely to be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.",
