Correction Notice:
The Trust intended to award a contract for the provision of these services under the Most Suitable Provider process, under the Provider Selection Regime guidance.
This correction notice is being issued to cancel the current process, and to abandon the planned contract award. Although no representations were received during the contact award process, the initial 14 day expression of interest window was incorrectly observed.
Therefore, to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Most Suitable Provider guidance, the Trust has decided to abandon the current process, and re-advertise the opportunity.
