This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under 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. Following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of health and social care in England, and subsequent issue of a Section 31 on the 19 January 2024; a notice of suspension for 3 months was issued by the Care Quality Commission to Minehead Medical Centre on Tuesday 23 January 2024 which came into effect from Wednesday 24 January 2024.
