Publisher note: 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 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 decision makers by 27th June 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to procurementpeople-mailbox@devon.gov.uk Award decisions have been recommended by Devon County Council's Children's Strategic Commissioning team, with key decision makers being: Senior Commissioning Manager of Children's Services (DCC), Assistant Commissioner of Children and Young People and Non-Custodial Services (NHS England), and Senior Commissioning Manager of Children and Young People and Non-Custodial Services (NHS England). No conflicts of interest were declared. The rationale for the relative importance of the key criteria, and the rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria is explained below: Quality and Innovation, 20% - The GPs have regular operational catch-up meetings with the home health and wellbeing coordinator throughout the contract to manage the development of new initiatives, to strengthen support in the home for the young people and to support handovers. The GPs also attend Health & Wellbeing meetings with the wider Health & Wellbeing team at the home. Visiting times are agreed with the home and where necessary support is available urgently or remotely via email and telephone calls. Value, Pass/Fail - The provider accepted the available fixed budget. Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability, 30% - This provider regularly meets with the Health & Wellbeing Coordinator at the home as well as the wider health & wellbeing team (see Quality and Innovation above). Examples have been provided of instances where the provider's service team worked closely with the Clinical Psychologists and support staff within the home, plus Paediatricians to monitor, support and reassure a young person undergoing some health difficulties. Through this collaborative working, admissions to hospital were avoided. Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities, and Facilitating Choice, 30% - Young people living at the home are registered with this providers practice improving access to local health provision. This provider delivers the vaccination services to the home for both young people and staff improving access and reducing health inequalities resulting from incomplete vaccination records. The doctors also support young people to access services when it feels difficult or they develop an issue around a particular health concern. Further to this, the provider refers young people on to further services where this is appropriate so that young people are supported to access sexual health and eating disorder/restricted eating support. The GPs have also been supporting the development of access to a range of homely remedies that the young people can access to support their own health and wellbeing as needed. The GP has also supported the building of relationships with a local pharmacy so that young people are able to access effective and timely treatments as prescribed by qualified health professionals. Social Value, 20% - The young people living in the home are very vulnerable with a history of trauma. Their experiences make them less likely to understand their rights to health provision or what they can access to support a given health need. This provider has built trusting relationships with the young people living at the home over a number of years, building trust in health provision. This ensures that the young people are better able to address and avoid health inequalities going forward, feeding into a better future for the young people, and better outcomes for the communities they return to on leaving the home. After carrying out the assessment, the Authority is satisfied that the existing provider is both:  Satisfying the existing contract to a sufficient standard, according to the detail outlined in the existing contract, and taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria.  Able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard, according to the detail outlined in the new contract, taking into account key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria.
