The London Borough of Camden (referred to as "LB Camden") considers this service as a relevant health care service as set out in The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 ("the PSR"). LB Camden considers this service to be a Mixed Procurement in accordance with the PSR. The PSR has introduced three provider selection processes that relevant authorities can follow to award contract for health care services. LB Camden considers that the Competitive Process is applicable for the purposes of this contract as there are a number of providers with the capability to satisfy the contract requirements to a sufficient standard so does not consider Direct Award processes A, B or C are appropriate. The Council has reviewed and upgraded its payment processes and is now able to offer the Supplier Incentive Scheme. For a small rebate our target is to pay invoices within 10 days, or earlier, after the receipt of a valid invoice. The Council therefore recommends Suppliers participate in the Supplier Incentive Scheme to improve their cash flow and ensure enhanced liquidity within your supply chain.
