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 decision makers by the 26th of February 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
Email address where written representations should be sent: llricb-llr.contracting@nhs.net
Details of the award decision-makers: NHS LLR ICB Strategic Commissioning Group on 28th of January 2025
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 providers' suitability and technical / professional ability to undertake this service based on their current activities and performance, against the key criteria and basic selection criteria when making a decision to award this contract. The provider's economic and financial standing has been considered in proportion to the contract value and terms.
The assessment demonstrates that the providers have been, and are likely to continue to satisfy the requirements of the contract. The intention to award the contract is made on this basis.
key criteria 1. Quality and innovation: The providers offer safe and effective services and meet the ICB's quality and safety requirements.
key criteria 2. Value: This service offers value financially and to the local healthcare community as patients continue to access services within a primary care setting, which reduces demand for more costly services.
key criteria 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability: The service provision is consistent with NICE clinical guidelines and local integrated (primary, community and secondary) care pathways for treatment and management of H-Pylori. Early treatment and intervention improve health outcomes for patients and reduce demand for other invasive secondary care interventions.
key criteria 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: Services are widely available to patients registered with an LLR GP Practice. Providing care in a local environment/setting allows patients to receive care in a timely manner and reduces demand for secondary care services.
key criteria 5. Social value: Services are offered without delay, contributing to timely interventions which minimise the impact on patient's lives. The providers maintain employment of local people to deliver the services.
