Published justification

This procurement utilised the Direct Award C process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) which allows for a contract to be awarded to an existing provider without a competitive process, provided certain conditions are met.

This process was used to renew the contract with the existing provider, for the following reasons:

There are no considerable changes to the contract's nature or value.

Incumbent provider performance was assessed and the Authority is satisfied that the provider is meeting the requirements of the current contract will likely meet the requirements of the new 12 month contract

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 the relevant authority by midnight at the end of the 8th of July 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. Written representations should be sent to ProcurementandCommercial@cambridgeshire.gov.uk FAO Thomas Clarke. Award decision makers: Award of contract was approved by Cambridgeshire County Council's Head of Service - Fostering. Conflicts of Interest - No conflict of interested were declared prior to, or during, the preparation of the tender excise, the evaluation or moderation period or the award of the contract. Relative importance of the key criteria: The decision was made through an evaluation methodology covering the 5 criterion. The greatest weighting were applied to quality and innovation and value. Quality and Innovation was weighted highly as it was imperative that due to the nature of the service specification and expectations regarding delivery requirements, quality is considered the most important component. This was followed by value to ensure that the service will be delivered within the available financial envelope and for the bidder to provide the local authority with assurances that there will be robust financial and performance monitoring. Added value was considered though social value, recognising the importance of a providers wider contribution to the councils ambitions and benefits to local residents.
