This specialist capability is provided by an external contractor. The authority will be seeking to tender for a 5-year contract to start on 01 Apr 2027, with the option to extend up to 24 months. Service Requirement The service shall include: * Prosthetic provision post primary amputation, upper and lower limb, often with additional complex needs, * Management of established prosthetic users with complex needs and/or high level demands, * Care of patients with a range of complex orthopaedic, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions requiring orthotic devices.

The core hours of clinical delivery on the unit are 0800 - 1700 Monday to Thursday and 0800 - 1330 on a Friday. The provision of routine and emergency appointments will be within normal working hours, there is not an out of hours requirement.
