  "description": "Written representations should be sent to procurement@brent.gov.uk\nDetails of the award decision-makers:\nA report was prepared by the Officer recommending the award and the decision was made and taken by the Council\u0027s Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Community Development.  The contract was awarded to the provider Home Start Barnet, Brent, Enfield and Harrow for 22 months.\nThis 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 standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 03/12/2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.\nKey criteria as follows:\nQuality and innovation 20%\n\u2022 The provider will be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.\n\u2022 The provider is capable of continuing to provide the peer support service and have recruited additional staff to ensure one-to-one home visits are offered above and beyond the statutory expectations, including for fathers and co-parents.\n\u2022 The service will also provide volunteer-led peer support for new fathers via organised outreach groups in maternity settings.\nValue 20%\n\u2022 The provider will be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.\n\u2022 The provider will continue to recruit volunteer peer supporters from Brent and have expanded their pool of volunteers to support the residents.\n\u2022 New specification is also being written in collaboration with the provider to understand how we can continue to deliver value.\nIntegration, collaboration and service sustainability 20%\n\u2022 The provider will be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.\n\u2022 The provider will continue to work as part of a multidisciplinary perinatal mental health and parent\u2013infant relationship strategy which has clear referral pathways for families. This ensures a coherent and joined-up approach between services for babies and their families.\n\u2022 The service is also contributing to the Borough plan and helping the LA to fulfil its statutory responsibility, and the new service specification and contract outlines opportunities for the provider to do.\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice 20%\n\u2022 The provider will be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.\n\u2022 The new service specification proposed new ways for the service to deliver support to identified groups who may face barriers to accessing the existing offer, for example, outreach, and co-locating in family wellbeing centres. There have been no objections to working in this way, and the provider has been happy to re-engineer services where possible, ultimately improving services for families.\nSocial value 20%\n\u2022 The provider will be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard.\n\u2022 The provider will deliver relevant social value KPIs which have been identified collaboratively with the Council for the benefit of Brent residents contributing to the delivery of the borough plan. This includes delivering events that destigmatise mental health and promote good early attachment relationships are encouraged.\nThere were no identified conflicts of interest.",
