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 or Procurement Act 2023 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 the relevant authority by midnight at the end of the 2nd March 2026.

Award decision-makers:
Public Health Principal - Prevention;
Executive Director: Adults, Health and Commissioning;
Head of Procurement and Commercial.
There were no conflicts of interest declared.
Relative importance of key criteria:
Quality and innovation - 45%;
Value - 30%;
Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - 10%;
Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 10%;
Social value - 5%
The evaluation model reflects the five PSR criteria and places just over half the weighting on quality related factors, which is appropriate for a specialist behavioural intervention.
Quality and innovation (45%) is weighted the highest to ensure the provider can deliver an effective evidence-based service aligned with NICE NG209. Value (30%) maintains focus on value for money, recognising limited cost variation for this proprietary intervention. Overall the model is proportionate and ensures a high quality, accessible and value for money service is selected.
Allen Carr Easyway has been selected as the most suitable provider as they are the only provider offering a NICE recommended behavioural intervention (NG209) supported by a strong peer reviewed evidence base. It meets all specification requirements, including seminar length, structure, booster sessions and full follow up reporting up to 12 months, and has already delivered successfully in Cambridgeshire with outcomes meeting or exceeding expectations. The model is cost effective, easy to integrate into local pathways, and has proven effectiveness across priority populations.
