No actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest were declared or identified by any of the decision-makers in relation to this Provider Selection Regime (PSR) process. As no conflicts were identified, no mitigating actions were required.<br/>Key Criteria and Award Rationale<br/>The contract award decision was based on a comprehensive evaluation of all published procurement criteria through the Atamis E- Portal. The relative importance of the criteria was designed to ensure the selection of a provider capable of delivering a safe, effective, sustainable, and high-quality service that represents best value for the Trust and its patients. All written correspondence should be sent via the Atamis Portal <br/>The evaluation comprised the following elements:<br/>1. Selection Questionnaire (SQ) – Assessment of the provider's organisational suitability, financial standing, relevant experience, technical capability, and compliance with mandatory procurement requirements.<br/>2. Specification Compliance Questionnaire – Assessment of the provider's ability to meet the mandatory and desirable requirements set out within the service specification.<br/>3. Key Criteria Assessment – Evaluation against the Provider Selection Regime key criteria, including quality and innovation, integration, collaboration and service sustainability, and improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice where applicable and Social Value (Including Wellbeing, Equal Opportunities and Tackling Economic equality).<br/>4. Commercial Evaluation – Assessment of pricing, whole-life costs, affordability, and overall value for money.<br/>The relative weighting of these criteria reflected the Trust's requirement to secure a provider that not only offers a commercially competitive solution but can also demonstrate the capability, quality, and sustainability required to deliver the service effectively over the contract term.<br/>The successful provider achieved the highest overall score across the combined evaluation process. The provider demonstrated full compliance with the service specification requirements, achieved the second-highest score against the PSR key criteria, satisfied all Selection Questionnaire requirements, and submitted the most advantageous commercial offer when considering quality, service delivery, and overall value for money. Consequently, the evaluation panel concluded that the provider represented the most advantageous overall solution and best met the needs of the Trust and its patients.
