Oswestry is a market town located in the North of Shropshire close to the English-Welsh border; with a population of around 17,400. It is located approximately 19 miles from Shrewsbury.

Based on that rate it is anticipated that the annual contract value from third year onwards will be PS657,600.00 per annum. *Rate paid per UDA is likely to change due to DDRB's (Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration Body) recommended pay uplift. * Proposed assistance with the mobilisation cost: A maximum contribution of PS100,000 will be paid in the first year of contract to cover the initial one-off mobilisation and set-up costs.
