  "description": "This 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 standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by Midnight (11:59pm) on the 24th December 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nWritten representations should be sent to Stuart Meredith at the following email address: stuart.meredith1@nhs.net.\nNo conflicts of interest were identified. Decision maker: Deputy Chief Integration \u0026 Primary Care Officer and Director of Joint Commissioning, NHS Sussex. \nEvaluation key Criteria\nThe service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria:\nThe key criteria were weighted as follows:\n\u2022 Quality and innovation - 25%\n\u2022 Value -15%\n\u2022 Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 25%\n\u2022 Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice -25%\n\u2022 Social Value -10%\nQuality \u0026 Innovation: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting, which was accessed equally to the \"improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice\" and \"integration, collaboration and service sustainability\" criteria. This weighting reflects our commitment that this service is of the highest quality for stroke survivors, to ensure that they receive a personalised and seamless experience that enables them to feel supported.\nValue: The Value criterion is significant in that providers will need to ensure that they are able to utilise funding to maximise benefits to stroke survivors, ensuring they meet individualised needs and preferences when it will benefit stroke survivors most. If they are able to do this in an effective way, this in turn adds value by supporting the system, providing a crucial prevention element that can save whole system funding and improve whole system efficiency around the use of resources. Funds will need to be utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective service.\nIntegration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting, which was accessed equally to the \"improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice\" and \"quality and innovation\" criteria. Integration and collaboration is key to ensure a seamless experience to patients, as well as motivating stroke survivor engagement with the service. A cohesive system partnerships between providers, local VCSE assets, the local authority services will allow wide opportunity for stroke survivors needs to bet met and utilise existing community assets whilst reducing duplication, as well as supporting the sustainability of local services.\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting, which was assessed equally to the \"Quality and Innovation\" and \"Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability\" criteria. Stroke is most likely to impact certain genders and ethnicities, and when the determinants of health are also considered, areas of greater deprivation paired with an older age profile see the biggest prevalence of stroke and other Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) events. The weighting for this score reflects our commitment to ensure that this resource is targeted towards those who have the biggest need and who can benefit most from it, improving health outcome four our most disadvantaged population.\nSocial Value: This criterion recognises the potential impact of services and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community. Although this hasn\u0027t been weighted as heavily, it is important that providers are able to evidence their commitment to these areas, such as paying workers living wage, reducing consumption and waste and offering student placements and apprenticeships.",
