This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this
contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations
2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015
do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill
period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 31 March 2025.
This notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR where an option to extend already
exists in the contract and where the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and
likely to satisfy the proposed contract extension to a sufficient standard, and where the
proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £2,804,531
