Summary of the contracting process
The NHS Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland Integrated Care Board (ICB) has issued an intention to award notice under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) of 2023 for a contract titled "Telephone cover for Protected Learning Time - Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland".

The award is planned for two providers, Willows Group Ltd and DHU Health Care CIC, with the contract period beginning on 1st April 2025 and potentially extending to 31st March 2027. Key deadlines include the standstill period until 26th February 2025 where representations can be made.
SMEs like Willows Group Ltd and DHU Health Care CIC are ideally suited for such initiatives, promoting local employment and reducing environmental impact through remote service delivery. The total estimated contract value is approximately £199,046 over two years, fostering stable growth and service continuity in the local healthcare sector.
