One contract was formally awarded, following a competitive tendering process, to EZEC MEDICAL, which is now trading as EMED GROUP LIMITED. The contract commenced on 1st April 2020. The contract duration is five (5) years, with the option to extend for a further two (2) years, subject to agreement. At the time of the procurement process, the commissioning organisations were NHS Herefordshire CCG, NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove CCG, NHS South Worcestershire CCG, NHS Wyre Forest CCG, and Associated Commissioners. The aforementioned commissioning organisations have since transitioned into NHS Integrated Care Boards, and as such the above contract is held by NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board. The date on which the modification described in this notice took effect was 1st April 2025. This is a PSR contract modification notice, under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contract Regulations do not apply to this award. This contract has now been formally modified.",
