The key aims and objectives identified by the Commissioners Were to provide Male PICU services in or near Derbyshire, potentially in conjunction with other Regional CCG Commissioners. Additional information: Following an open lot process, of which Lot 1 was not award, this contract has been offered to the provider who scored the highest combined (quality & price) during the previous formal open tendering process to ensure continuity of service across Derbyshire. A development programme has been put in place to support those areas highlighted as 'needs improvement'. The contract will be closely monitored.
