Value requirement: <br/>The service operates as a transparent offer, proportionate to benefit, with embedded <br/>governance, established referral pathways and continuity of provision that avoids transition risk <br/>and additional system cost. <br/><br/>PSR key criteria 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability: Evidence from OH SharePoint demonstrates that the Supplier is well integrated within the OH pathways and operates collaboratively in a way that supports long‑term service sustainability. The Suppliers service is embedded within established OH referral SOPs, reporting arrangements <br/>and governance structures, enabling seamless clinical integration and consistent information <br/>flow between the provider and OH teams, rather than operating as a standalone or parallel <br/>service. <br/><br/>PSR key criteria 4.
