Two potential conflicts of interest were flagged as part of this process. The two conflicts of interest were reviewed by the Project Lead who agreed that the two members who identified potential conflicts of interest were to remain as part of the evaluation panel.
The perceived conflicts of interest were mitigated against as no prior information or contractual information regarding the Provider was taken into consideration when evaluating. The panel members who did identify perceived conflicts of interest were never the sole voice on any scores as each question had more than one panel member and was the questions were discussed in depth as part of a robust moderation process.
The Basic Selection Criteria was scored on a Pass/Fail or For Information basis. The Key Criteria was scored on a weighted questions basis as follows:
1. Quality and Innovation 25.00%
2. Value 20.00%
3. Integration, Collaboration & Service Sustainability 30.00%
4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating Choice 15.00%
5. Social Value 10.00%
The weightings for the 5 key criteria were determined by the procurement panel to give appropriate relative importance to each of the sections equally in line with the commissioning expectations for the service. These were assessed on a scored basis (0-5), with the exception of the Value Key Criteria which was scored, as per the evaluation criteria set out within the procurement documentation.
The awarded Provider has been selected as they have met all requirements of the Basic Selection Criteria and scored the highest overall out of 100% against the published Key Criteria (listed above).",
