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.

This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. written representation must be sent to caphprocurement@lancashire.gov.uk Award decision-maker: Dr. Sakthi Karunanithi MBBS M.D. MPH FFPH, Director of Public Health, Lancashire County Council Key Criteria: • Quality and innovation (30%) - Lancashire aims to ensure that a high degree of importance, is placed on efficiency, effectiveness, and service user satisfaction. The level of quality and innovative approaches required for these services led to a decision to weight this element at 30%. • Value (30%) - The Local Authority needs to ensure that delivery is cost-effective and efficient, and that the provider can meet all Key Performance Indicators within budget. Consideration of the overall value as well as the quality of care and the cost-effectiveness of services, led to a weighting of 30% for this criterion. • Integration, collaboration, and service sustainability (15%) - There is a requirement for the Provider to demonstrate strengths in integrating with existing services, collaborating with other organisations, and ensuring the sustainability of their services over time. Whilst important and critical to service delivery, we do not consider it equal to quality and innovation and value for money in terms of weighting but aligns more with Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice therefore, a weighting of 15% was applied to this criterion. • Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice (15%) - There is a requirement for the provider to demonstrably enhance accessibility to care and reduce disparities in service delivery through an inclusive ethos. This means ensuring the best experience possible for service users. This criterion enhances both quality and innovation and value for money, therefore a weighting of 15% is applicable for this criterion. • Social value (10%) - There must be a clear focus on opportunities to increase access to healthcare, reduce health inequalities, promote patient choice, and address social needs. A weighting of 10% for this criterion is applicable in line with the Authority's Social Value Strategy. Rationale for choosing the provider: The relevant authority (Lancashire County Council) is of the view that the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria.
