Details of the award decision-makers: LLR ICB Joint Executive Team Wednesday 10th December 2025 Conflicts of interest: A conflicts of interest was identified for one member of the Joint Executive Team. The non-conflicted members have assessed the nature and risk of this conflict, and have excluded the conflicted member from the decision-making. Statement on key criteria and rationale: The relevant authority considered the following key criteria when determining the most suitable providers for the Same Day Access service: Integration, Transformation & Sustainability - 50% Access, Reducing Inequalities & Choice - 40% Social Value - 10% Quality, Safety & Innovation - Pass/Fail. Value - Pass/Fail. These weightings reflect the commissioning priorities for this service. Integration was given the highest weighting because the SDA service must operate seamlessly within the LLR core primary care and urgent care system, working with GP practices, NHS 111, clinical navigation services, and emergency departments. Access and reducing inequalities were prioritised to ensure equitable provision for all registered patients, address health disparities, and support flexible appointments with translation and accessibility services. Social value was included to promote wider community benefits. Quality, safety, and value were treated as essential, non-negotiable requirements and assessed on a Pass/Fail basis. Rationale for provider selection: Providers were assessed against these key criteria and the basic selection criteria using available evidence and local assurance mechanisms. For each lot, the relevant authority judged that the selected provider is suitable to deliver the service and meets commissioner requirements.
