Approval is sought to award a contract for the Symptomatic Breast Clinic under the new Provider Selection Regime, which allows for various flexible contract award routes including competition and direct awards.
Symptomatic Breast Clinic
Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Decision to carry out a Competitive Process and award a contract using the framework provider direct award facility ESNEFT2738 - Breast Clinic PSR Insourcing. Additional information: As of the 1st January 2024 the selection process to identify and award contracts to Providers of healthcare services has been removed from the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and are now part of the new Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This report is to seek approval to award a contract under the PSR procedures. The PSR process provides greater flexibility than the traditional procurement procedures through a number of routes to award contracts. These include Direct Awards (under specific circumstances), Most Capable Provider, and Competition. Whilst the PSR process provides greater flexibility, ESNEFT’s default starting position for the selection of a Provider and award of contracts under PSR is competition and Value for Money. The DMT confirm that they have completed the PSR decision making toolkit for making a PSR contract award using the competitive process. A copy of this will be made available for the commercial folder.
