Procurement Information
This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (PSR), specifically under Direct Award Process B. The PSR applies in place of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for health care services of this nature. The procurement therefore falls outside the scope of the PCR 2015.
