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 Friday 2nd January 2026. Representations can only be made by providers party to the framework agreement. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.<br/>Written representations should be sent to emma.aldridge1@nhs.net <br/><br/>The procurement was structured as a 2 stage mini-competitive process, whereby framework bidders awarded on Lot 1 of the SBS Framework Mental Health completed a Stage 1 Supplier Qualification Questionnaire, and were assessed to shortlist to participate in Stage 2 of the procurement process.<br/>Stage 2 of the procurement process required submission of responses to more detailed, scored and weighted Technical, Commercial and Social Value questions, asked in line with the PSR Key Criteria questions. <br/>The evaluation was weighted 100%, with 10% of the score awarded on Social Value, 50% of the score awarded on Quality and 40% awarded on Price. <br/>Bid submissions were evaluated by a team of subject matter experts, including representation from operational, clinical, contracts and financial teams. The commercial response required suppliers to provide a price per type of service, per type of delivery (virtual/face to face), per lot (location) and per range of volume (low/medium/high). Each supplier was awarded a percentage commercial score for each scenario. Final scores were calculated by adding the technical/quality percentage score, to each percentage score per range of volume (low/medium/high), to give a total percentage score per supplier per range of volume. The Bidder(s) with the highest number of total scores per service type and lot and in consideration of the number of assessments the Bidder (s) has stated they can provide are to be awarded contracts. <br/>All project stakeholders completed a Confirmation of Interest Declaration and there have been no conflicts declared.
