Summary of the contracting process

The contract spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the award decision made to address immediate risks to patient safety due to increased waiting times. This contract was awarded without prior publication under the Provider Selection Regime regulations due to its urgent nature.

The contract is valued at £3,285,527 for the planning year 2024-2025, subject to adjustments for 2025-2026.
