This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under 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. This contract has now been formally awarded using the competitive process.
The Contract will be for a term of 60 months (five years), with the possibility of extending the term for a period of 60 additional months (five years) beyond the initial contracted duration by agreement between the Authority and the Provider. The service is due to start on the 1st April 2026 with the first term ending on 31st March 2031, and the extension period would run from 1st April 2031 until 31st march 2036.
The anticipated aggregate contract value is £139,616,350.00 across the potential 10 years, but this figure is subject to the tender process.
