The contract has been awarded to a single Service Provider under a 4-year contract (with extensions of 4 years and 2 years possible). The estimated annual value of the Contract is c. £3.7m.

CHS followed a Restricted procurement procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under the first stage of the process, prospective bidders are required to complete a Selection Questionnaire and its associated appendices. Following evaluation of submitted SQs, CHS anticipated shortlisting up to five bidders to be Invited to Tender under the second stage of the process. CHS reserved the right to increase this by one or two, where scores were within 10 marks of the 5th place tenderer. Following evaluation of Final Tenders, CHS intended to award the Contract to a single contractor. Full details of the requirements and instructions were included in the procurement and Tender documents.
