Conflicts of Interest identified: there were no Conflicts of Interest in the Panel or award decision makers.
The Provider was evaluated through a formal written submission evidencing how they would meet the Key Criteria. A minimum overall score of 50% was required to proceed with the award. The Provider achieved an overall score of 78.5% and therefore met the required threshold.
The Key Criteria were weighed as follows:
• Quality and Innovation - 35%
• Value - 15%
• Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 25%
• Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice - 10%
• Social Value - 15%
The key criteria were determined in line with the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) guidance and informed by local public health expertise and knowledge of the service. Greater weighting was given to criteria reflecting the high-risk nature of inpatient detoxification as a specialist medical intervention, including clinical safety, quality, and alignment with national substance use and clinical guidance. Additional importance was placed on the provider's ability to integrate effectively within the wider Nottingham City substance use treatment pathway and to respond to local needs and priorities. Consideration was also given to securing best value for money, ensuring that the service delivers optimal outcomes in a cost-effective manner. The relative importance of these criteria reflects the need to balance patient safety, service quality, system integration, and value in commissioning this critical service.
The Decision maker is the Director of Public Health at Nottingham City Council under delegated authority awarded at Commissioning and Procurement Executive Committee on 10 February 2026
