The indicative contract value for this service for 2024/25 is £629,441 and over the five years the indicative contract value will be £3,147,205.

Over the 15 years, if contract is extended to its full duration, the total indicative maximum contract value will be £9,441,615.

• provide a responsive service which adapts over time to patient feedback and to changes in evidence

• develop effective working relationships across the wider system, such as but not exclusively, nursing homes, acute hospitals, community nursing, voluntary sector organisations.
