Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
The decision to award this contract in line with the Competitive Process was based on evaluation against the basic selection criteria (in the form of a Selection Questionnaire), which was assessed on a pass/fail basis, and the PSR 5 key criteria, which were assessed on a 0-4 scale, with the below weightings.
Several tender questions were asked under each of the key criteria.
Quality & Innovation - 35%
Value - 10%
Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 17%
Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 28%
Social Value - 10%
The providers selected for award have been chosen as they passed the basic selection criteria and were the highest scoring bidder overall, against the key criteria. Recommendations for award of contract made by the Pharmacy, Optometry and Dentistry (POD) Commissioning Lead for NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight were approved by the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB Executive Committee on 25th March 2025.
After conducting a thorough Competitive Process, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB) is content that the providers' bids sufficiently met the key criteria and thus can proceed to contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
Three declarations of potential conflict of interest were made via the conflict of interest process for this procurement and recorded accordingly. The non-conflicted members of the procurement have assessed the nature and risk of each declared conflict, and decided which steps to take to avoid or mitigate them. Two declarations were deemed as not being actual conflicts of interest and the third declarant was excluded from further involvement in the procurement (including any decision making).
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 Midnight on Weds 14th May 2025. 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 scwcsu.procurement@nhs.net
