It was not deemed as an actual conflict or a risk to the procurement, but was still managed accordingly with appropriate mitigations. \nAward decisions have been recommended by the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and West Berkshire (BOB) Integrated Care Board (ICB)  Head of Pharmacy, Optometry and Dentistry, with key decision makers being the Chief Finance Officer and Chief Executive for BOB ICB.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice.
