The contract, identified by the title "RRE-00337 Carpal Tunnel Surgery," follows a direct award process without prior competitive bidding, facilitated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contractual period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with an extension option of up to one year, potentially extending the contract value to £375,000. Important milestones include the contract award date, 1st April 2025, and a prior standstill period ending on 1st August 2025.
