For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.\nRepresentations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by 11:59:59 p.m. 14 November 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. Written representations should be sent to NENC ICB at nencicb.procurement@nhs.net.\nService requirements were measured and assessed against the 5 Key Criteria of the PSR 2023 and with the rationale being the focus on providing an integrated model that meets new requirements.\nThe Relevant Authority considered the service requirements, the relative importance of each of the PSR 2023 5 key criteria against the contracting arrangements, and what beneficial outcomes need to be achieved from the services. This information was used to determine what evidence would be assessed to confirm alignment with the 5 key criteria\nFollowing publication of a PIN on 18  September 2025 inviting Expressions of Interest, the Relevant Authority assessed all responses  against the published 5 key Criteria and service specific criteria to evidence the identified most suitable provider\u0027s suitability.\nFollowing assessment, review, recommendation for Award Decision, and an Award Decision was requested and received through the NENC ICB governance process:\nConflicts of interests were managed throughout the process. Potential conflicts of interests identified among potential project team members were assessed by non conflicted members. Individuals who identified a potential perceived conflict of interest were not given access to project documents or included in project discussions until it was confirmed they did not have a conflict.\nAll governance committee meetings were briefed on the potential for conflicts of interests and conflicts with committee and board members were managed with any identified potential/perceived conflicted individuals not receiving copies of the MSP Outcome report and that member being asked to and agreeing to remove themselves from the meeting where the review and recommendation approval of the MSP process Outcome and agreement of the identification of the Most Suitable Provider was completed.",
