Value - The Provider will continue to deliver pricing in line with the Trusts requirement to delivery pricing below tariff rates and within the Trusts planned budget requirement for this service provision. There was clear value to the service demonstrated by the DM01 waiting list figures
3.
Integration, collaboration, and service sustainability - The Provider works within the local estate using local staff. Therefore, there is close collaboration between ESNEFT and the provider.

4.
Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - The Provider has been assessed during the contract period and the Service has been satisfied that the Provider demonstrates flexibility in their approach to meeting the Trusts' requirements.
