This procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process is a Direct Award under PSR, wherein the authority intends to continue with the existing provider, given their satisfactory performance. The contract is valued at £3000 and spans from 25 February 2026 to 24 February 2027, with options to extend for three additional periods of up to 12 months each. The procurement stage is currently at the award stage, with the standstill period ending on 24 February 2026.
