The decision was approved by members of the following ICB boards/committees:
Southampton SMT
HIOW ICB Spending Control Group
HIOW ICB Procurement Group
No conflicts of interest were declared by those individuals making the decision.
In reviewing the Key Criteria, the ICB considered the following to be the most important:-
- Value
- Integration, collaboration and service sustainability
- Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice
This was followed by quality and innovation and social value, which were deemed to be equally important. This is because the nature of the service is to reduce health inequalities for those who are more likely to fall i.e. those living in deprived areas and with other health conditions. The Basic Selection Criteria have been assessed via a Due Diligence process undertaken with the provider.
