What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is a community-based smoking cessation service that aims to provide structured smoking cessation support to reduce smoking-related health inequalities and provide accessible, person-centered interventions with measurable outcomes.

Smoking is a leading cause of preventable death and illness in Peterborough. Local smoking prevalence (12.9%) is slightly higher than the national average. Smoking rates are particularly high in deprived areas, among people with long term mental health conditions, substance misuse issues, those who are homeless and those in routine and manual occupations.

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 standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice.

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 helen.davies@peterborough.gov.uk Award Decision Makers: Raj Lakshman - Acting Director of Public Health Natalie Moult - Peterborough City Council Lawyer Michael Blake - Head of Finance Conflicts of Interest - One conflict of interest was declared during the tender preparation stage. The individual was not involved in the evaluation or moderation of bid submissions to ensure there was no risk of any biased decisions or actions. No other conflicts of interest were declared prior to, or during, the preparation of the tender exercise, the evaluation or moderation period or the award of the contract. Relative importance of the key criteria: The decision was made through a scoring methodology of 8 questions covering the 5 criterion. The greatest weighting was applied to Quality and Innovation 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. The sucessfull supplier obtained the highest scoring combined across the five key criteria: Criterion 1 - Quality and Innovation: 28.80% Criteron 2 - Value: 25.86% Criteron 3 - Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability: 10.00% Criterion 4 - Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities and Facilitating Choice - 15.00% Criterion 5 - Social Value: 2.00% Total score: 81.66%
