  "description": "The decision to award this contract in line with the Competitive Process was based on evaluation against the basic selection criteria (in the form of a Selection Questionnaire), which was assessed on a pass/fail basis, and the PSR 5 key criteria, which were assessed on a 0-4 scale, with the below weightings.\nSeveral tender questions were asked under each of the key criteria.\nQuality \u0026 Innovation - 35%\nValue - 10%\nIntegration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 17%\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 28%\nSocial Value - 10%\nThe providers selected for award have been chosen as they passed the basic selection criteria and were the highest scoring bidder overall, against the key criteria.\nAfter conducting a thorough Competitive Process, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) is content that the providers\u0027 bid sufficiently met the key criteria and thus can proceed to contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.\nThere was one potential declaration of conflict of interest made via the conflict of interest process and recorded accordingly. It was not deemed as an actual conflict or risk to the procurement, but was still managed accordingly with appropriate mitigations.\nAward decisions have been recommended by the Somerset ICB Board.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 27th October 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR.\nWritten representations should be sent to scwcsu.procurement@nhs.net.",
