Other Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) notice confirming that the Authority has abandoned this provider selection process and no contract has been awarded. The decision has been made under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Due to changes in local population needs, the Authority’s specification requirements have significantly changed; accordingly, the procurement has been discontinued, and a new procurement process will be commenced in due course. A new procurement notice will be issued with the details of the updated tender. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply.
