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. The ceiling value including the core 3 year value, extension value and all other aspirational intent as defined in section 12 of the specification of this ITT has a potential value of up to £3,876,252.16. 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.
