    "description": "The decision to identify The Primary Care Alliance Community Interest Company as the Most Suitable Provider was made by NHS Thames Valley Integrated Care Board following completion of the Most Suitable Provider assessment and moderation process. No declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest were identified during the decision-making process. In identifying the Most Suitable Provider, the Commissioner assessed providers against the Key Criteria and Basic Selection Criteria. The Key Criteria and relative weightings were: Quality and Innovation: 10% Value: 20% Integration, Collaboration and Sustainability: 30% Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice: 30% Social Value: 10% The weighting methodology was designed to reflect the Commissioner's objectives for the service. Particular emphasis was placed on Integration, Collaboration and Sustainability and Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice, which together represented 60% of the overall assessment. This reflected the importance of delivering a service that is fully integrated within the Berkshire West health and care system, works effectively with local providers and partners, improves access to care, supports underserved populations and delivers sustainable services closer to home. Following assessment and moderation of all submissions, the Commissioner concluded that The Primary Care Alliance Community Interest Company represented the Most Suitable Provider. The provider demonstrated the strongest evidence of existing integration within the Berkshire West health and care system, including established relationships across primary care, existing women's health service delivery, local workforce arrangements, digital interoperability, and established pathways supporting the Berkshire West population. The Commissioner concluded that these factors provided the strongest overall alignment with the assessment criteria and service requirements. 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 Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023 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 the relevant authority by midnight 09 October 2026. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Representations should be sent to scwcsu.cbprocurement@nhs.net.",
