As part of the procurement, conflict of interest declarations were sought from all relevant parties involved in the procurement process. A potential conflict was declared by one officer in the commissioning department. The potential conflict did not apply to the officer directly, nor to any financial or business interest of the officer, but was declared in relation to family members and a friends employment. The officer in question did not create or develop the assessment criteria, participate in the assessment or selection process, nor participate in or influence the authority’s decision-making on the outcome. The authority is satisfied that the assessment and decision-making processes were robust and unaffected by any improper influence Rationale for selecting the Most Suitable Providers The 79 responders who are assessed as the Most Suitable Providers scored 100% in the Key Criteria assessment. Key Criteria used in the assessment reflect Section 5 of the Health Care Service (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The existing service is deemed to perform well, in line with service KPIs. Weightings reflected the need for the new service to continue to deliver high quality outcomes to all eligible residents, across all sectors of the community, whilst offering value for money on public spend. The Key Criteria of Quality/Innovation, Value and Accessibility were deemed the most important factors for the new service; these received the equal highest weightings. The nature of the NHS Health Checks service requires the ability to integrate with other health services, so the Integration criteria were deemed moderately important, reflected in a ‘medium’ weighting. Given the statutory nature of the service and the requirements for quality, financial value and accessibility, Social Value was deemed less directly important - this was reflected in the lowest weighting being allocated there.
