Value (20%) is weighted significantly to align with its focus on financial discipline, productivity improvements, and ensuring every pound is spent effectively and knowingly. 3) Integration, Collaboration, and Service Sustainability (20%) supports the vision of shifting care from hospitals to communities, fostering collaboration across systems, and working to ensure long-term sustainability. 4) Improving Access, Reducing Health Inequalities, and Facilitating Choice (20%) reflects a commitment to tackling health disparities and improving access to care, and also to empowering patients with greater choice. 5) Social Value (10%) is weighted to reflect the NHS's role in supporting local employment, environmental sustainability, and community well-being, The existing provider demonstrated capability in meeting all five key criteria. All scored and pass/fail criteria were met by the provider whom the relevant authority intends to award the contract. The provider has satisfied the requirements of the original contract.
