6.A statement explaining the award decision-makers' reasons for selecting the chosen provider, with reference to the key criteria:

Considered by Children's Services and guidance obtained to use PSR Regulations:

The Service Review was undertaken contributing to our decision making as well as colleagues in procurement and legal. The Review was then cross-referenced with the Key Evaluation Criteria to assess their proposal. The weighting for each of the criteria was as follows:

1. Quality and Innovation - Pass/Fail

2. Value - Pass/Fail

3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - Pass/Fail

4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - Pass/Fail

5. Social value - Pass/Fail

As further assurance that the provider would be able to satisfy the new contract to a sufficient standard, Quality Assurance questions based on the updated service specification were issued covering the key criteria, the statements are below:

1. Quality and Innovation - The Service Provider is experienced in safeguarding, child development and the health needs of children looked after, with the medical advisors being General Medical Council (GMC) registered medical practitioners and shall strengthen interagency working across health, education and social care sectors to improve outcomes for children looked after and support Hull's sufficiency strategy by ensuring medical assessments do not become a barrier to timely carer approval or matching.

The current service quality and capacity have experienced issues around the timeliness of assessments, quality of GP reports and insufficient resilience for sickness/absence. The proposed model addresses the concerns and allows time to embed a robust monitoring and quality assurance process int a longer term arrangement.

2. Value - The Service Provider shall adhere to the budget set. They shall deliver in line with a range of pricing options to allow for the more urgent medical assessments and reports to be delivered in a timely manner and allow the less urgent ones to take longer which will provide management of the workload.

The Service Provider shall work with the Local Authority to ensure efficiency and achieve effectiveness.

3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - The service provider shall work closely with named and designated looked after children professionals, GPs, local authority children's services, One Adoption and NHS England to provide clear, balanced and child‑centred advice that enables effective decision‑making by social workers, managers, and adoption/fostering panels. The service will strengthen interagency working across health, education and social care sectors to improve outcomes for children looked after.

4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - The service provider shall deliver:

• timely completion of high quality medical advisor reports

• compliance with court deadlines in adoption and fostering cases

• improved confidence in decision making through consistent, specialist clinical input

• reduced risk of delay or challenge within statutory processes

The interim service arrangement is explicitly designed to protect these outcomes during a period of organisational change, ensuring that children, carers, and courts experience no interruption in access to medical advice.

Performance expectations, turnaround times, and quality standards will be monitored to ensure outcomes are delivered consistently and inform the specification of the longer term commissioned model.

5. Social value - the service delivers social value by:

• protecting vulnerable children from delay and disruption

• supporting timely, lawful decision making

• strengthening system resilience and professional confidence

• promoting equitable access to specialist medical advice

• contributing to sustainable, integrated public services

8.Any declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest.

None declared
