Any declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision and how these were managed: - Conflicts of interest were identified among the members of the Strategic Commissioning Group. The non-conflicted members assessed the nature and risk of this conflict and decided to allow the conflicted member to participate in the discussion but was excluded from the decision-making. The Contracting Authority has assessed the provider's suitability and technical/ professional ability to pursue this service based on their current activities and performance. The provider's economic and financial standing has been considered in accordance with basic selection criteria schedule 16 of PSR. Relative importance and rationale for the key criteria, and the rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria: 1. Quality and innovation The provider evidences service delivery through producing demand and activity data, and patient safety reporting. There was 100% satisfaction reported by professionals from the most recent NHS Friends and Family Test feedback (February 2024). No concerns or complaints have been received about the Provider or the service. 2. Value The contract for the home visiting element is paid on a cost per session basis, resulting in a cost-effective service which significantly reduces demands and cost for more expensive acute services. 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability The Provider works in an integrated and collaborative way with system partners (UHL, EMAS and General Practice) to deliver the home visiting service element of the service. Patient level data is shared with partners across the system. The Provider has appropriate policies, procedures and systems in place to deliver the service. Through the delivery of this service, there is a reduction in the number of ambulance conveyances and ED attendances, which improves the quality of those services. The service is staffed by local LLR GPs, and learning from the service is shared with General Practices. The service is also able to prescribe medication and organise further treatment . 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice The home visiting element of the service is delivered in people's own homes, the service is accessible to all patients regardless of geography (Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland wide) and protected characteristics, accessible to patients referred by the Geriatrician at UHL. Data requirements will be reviewed and updated for the future to collate information about health inequalities. 5. Social value The provider evidences social value by providing local employment and purchasing local goods and services, The provider has good performance for patients remaining in their own homes (approx. 83% of patients avoided an ED attendance) following treatment, leading to fewer patient journeys to alternative services (such as ED attendance, ambulance call-out, or GP Practice attendance). It is recognised that this cohort of patients spend an average of 9 days in hospital, and patients become deconditioned whilst in hospital, and through the ED avoidance outcomes achieved by this service, the service is having a positive impact on the wellbeing of the patients and their carers.
