Declared and potential conflicts of interest were assessed, and none were identified.

Each of the key criteria were given equal weighting as no single criterion is of higher priority than the others for the successful delivery of this service and the population health outcomes we aim to achieve for the people of Calderdale. The rationale for choosing the provider with reference to the key criteria is explained below:

1. Quality & Innovation (20%) - The provider highly satisfies the contract. All but one KPI are performed above target and the 4 week quit rate is above the England average. 100% of service users are satisfied with the service. Good track record of exploring innovation in delivery e.g. digital vouchers for NRT provision, remote CO monitoring.

2. Value (20%) - The provider satisfies the contract. Value is defined as both delivering financial and qualitative value. Added value of contracting with an NHS organisation facilitates collaborative working with other NHS professionals. Quality and performance have been maintained despite a cut to the contract value.

3. Integration, collaboration & sustainability (20%) - The provider collaborates and integrates with many other local health care providers including GP practices, pharmacies & NHS Trusts and is a committed partner for a long term programme of work aiming to better integrate health and wellbeing support for adults. A dispersed model of delivery means the service is sustainable and resilient.

4. Improving access, reducing inequalities and facilitating choice (20%) - 100% of service users able to access support within 7 days. Choice of support formats and venues available. Over 80% of service users come from priority target groups. Track record of partnership working with local stakeholders to improve access.

5. Social value (20%) - Programme of work looking at climate adaptation. Social responsibility and sustainability strategy published. Provides fair terms and conditions and a living wage for staff. Organisational commitment to ethical purchasing.
