Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
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 26th June 2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
Part of Lot 1, part of Lot 4 and Lot 9 are unawarded at this stage due to further information being required from a small number of providers but a further intention to award notice will be published once the outcome is confirmed.
The Relevant Authority is of the view, taking into account likely providers and all relevant information available to it at this time, that it has identified the most suitable provider or providers for each of the Lots.
Each of the 5 Key Criteria elements were balanced with equal priority and considered on this basis. Following assessment, it was agreed that the 16 providers are capable of meeting the service specification and are existing Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centres which was an essential requirement.
The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by midnight on 26th June 2024. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
This decision has been made as per NHS England governance processes, by Delegated Commissioning Group on 28th May 2024. No conflicts of interest were identified.
