The programme will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England, Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man but may later extend to include Guernsey, Scotland, Northern Ireland and other Devolved Nations/ Crown Dependencies.
The total contract value is £1,053,600 excluding VAT for the duration of three years with potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years at a value of £351,200 per year.

It is anticipated that the new service will commence in January 2025.

This procurement is for clinical services which are part of the 'Public Contract Regulations (PCR2015)' for the purpose of the Regulations. The commissioner is not voluntarily following any other part of the Regulations.
