Quality and value are the most important factors for this contract, as the Provider will be supporting the department and minimising waiting times.As the incumbent, the provider has demonstrated high-quality, reliable and patient-centred service provision over the current contract. The provider is highly proactive, always ensuring supplies are ordered and in stock for patient appointments, contributing to service efficiency and utilisation.
