## About this tender

INTENDED APPROACH NOTICE for NHS Health Check service - Provider Selection Regime - Most Suitable Provider Notice.

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach 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 do not apply to this award.

In accordance with Regulation 10 of The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Milton Keynes City Council is seeking to award a contract under the Most Suitable Provider process as the Authority is able to identify the most suitable provider without running a competitive exercise, for the provision of Adoption & Fostering Medical Advice Service.

Milton Keynes City Council intends to award a single contract to the most suitable provider. This notice will be published for a minimum of 14 days in accordance with the requirements of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023.

This is to enable providers to approach the Council and express their interest in being considered as the 'most suitable provider'.

Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) is a partner in the Adoption Connects Regional Adoption Agency (RAA), alongside Central Bedfordshire Council. As a statutory Adoption Agency and Fostering Service, the Council is required under the Adoption Agencies Regulations 2005 and the Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011 to appoint a registered medical practitioner to act as its Medical Adviser in respect of adoption and fostering. This role supports the health-related decision-making processes for children and prospective carers involved in adoption and fostering.

The purpose of this service is to provide and ensure the availability of timely, high-quality medical advice for all MKCC Adoption and Fostering decisions. The service will support statutory compliance and best practice in health assessments, enabling panels and decision-makers to make informed recommendations, and contribute adequately to safeguarding and permanence planning. It will also ensure all health information is interpreted accurately and shared with prospective adopters and foster carers, empowering them to make informed decisions about the care of children.
