Review Details
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, which will run from Monday 15 June 2026 to Wednesday 24 June 2026. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by Wednesday 24 June 2026. This contract has not yet been formally awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The contract may be awarded from Thursday 25 June 2026.
Why this procedure was chosen
This contract has been awarded in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (PSR), specifically under the Direct Award Process C. The PSR permits awarding authorities to make a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition where the existing provider is satisfying the requirements of the contract and is likely to continue to do so, and where the authority is satisfied that this represents the most appropriate approach having regard to the key criteria. The incumbent provider has been assessed against the PSR key criteria, exclusion criteria and basic selection criteria. The assessment demonstrated that the provider is delivering the current service to a satisfactory standard and is likely to continue to meet the requirements of the proposed contract. In particular, the provider has shown strong performance in relation to quality and innovation, value for money, integration and collaboration, improving access and reducing health inequalities, and social value. Given the importance of service continuity, the need to maintain established clinical pathways, and the risks associated with service disruption for vulnerable young people, the awarding authority has concluded that a direct award is justified and proportionate. As this procurement falls under the PSR, the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, including publication in the Official Journal of the European Union or Find a Tender service for competition, do not apply.
