No conflicts of interest have been declared in relation to the contract award. The criteria applied to this intention to award was: Basic Selection Criteria • Mandatory and Discretionary Grounds • Suitability to pursue activity • Technical and Professional ability Key Criteria • Quality - 30% Quality is weighted highest because it represents the core purpose of the service - delivering safe, effective, patient centred care with the ability to adapt and improve. A higher weighting ensures providers who demonstrate strong clinical governance, innovation and measurable outcomes are appropriately prioritised • Innovation - 10% Innovation is weighted lower to ensure new approaches enhance service delivery without overshadowing essential quality and safety standards. It recognises the importance of improvement while preserving balance in evaluation. • Value - 20% Value is weighted moderately to capture efficiency and cost effectiveness, while ensuring assessments do not become cost driven. This supports fair and proportionate evaluation and maintains quality as the primary focus. • Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 20% This criterion is weighted moderately because effective collaboration within the wider health and care system is essential for seamless pathways and long term sustainability. It supports ICS aims for joined up, system wide working. • Improving Access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 10% Improving access and inequalities is weighted lower to reflect equitable access, addressing local health inequalities, and ensuring the service is configured around population needs. This weighting ensures providers who contribute to reducing inequalities are appropriately recognised • Social Value - 10% Social Value is weighted at the required minimum standard and ensuring providers contribute to local economic, social and environmental wellbeing, while maintaining focus on core service outcomes.
