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 by 00:00 on 14th September 2024 (The standstill period will end at midnight on the eighth (8th) working day). This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.

No conflicts of interest were identified as part of this process.

The decision maker (Director of Public Health) is fully in support of this intent to award and believes that services will continue to provide support to the Gypsy and Traveller community.

Quality and innovation, value for money and improving access whilst reducing health inequalities are all high priority criteria for Leeds City Council in the delivery of services that support people in improving their health and wellbeing. They align with the objectives within the Best Council Plan and the ambition to reduce health inequalities by the commissioning of high quality services.

These three key indicators are directly applied when assessing the effectiveness of a contract/service. Value for money, performance by reducing inequalities and barriers and the outcomes achieved by a service. All are measured through the contract management process.

The provider has a track record of delivering health and wellbeing services, considered to be of high quality and value for money assessed over a period by contract management, which align to the strategic objectives of the council.
