The Contract will be for a period of 11 months (the contract value shown above is for the 11 month period) - the initial contract period will be from 03/05/2016 to 31st March 2017. The initial period is followed by an optional extension of 3 months (to 30th June 2017) until a final commissioning decision is implemented.

The Services to which this ITT relates fall within Part B of Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (the Regulations) and Appendix II B to Council Directive 2004/18/EC. Neither the publication of the above advertisement, the inclusion of a Bidder selection stage, an ITT nor the use of the term "Open Procedure" nor any other indication (including any statement in this ITT) shall be taken to mean that the Contracting Authority intends to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Part B services. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to NHS Healthcare services until April 2016, hence the reference to the 2006 legislation and "Part B" services.
