  "description": "The decision to award this contract in line with 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. \nQuality \u0026 Innovation - 41%\nIntegration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 19%\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 20%\nSocial Value - 10%\nValue - 10%\nAfter conducting a thorough Competitive Process, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS England South East is content that Hugh Steeper Limited\u0027s bid sufficiently met the key criteria and thus can proceed to contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.\nAward decisions have been recommended by the Specialised Commissioning Senior Management Team.\nThere were two potential declarations of conflict of interest made via the conflict of interest process and recorded accordingly.
