As this is a critical service that the current incumbent has been providing NHS T&T, it has been imperative to identify a new CRO (Contract Research Organisation) to take over the service once the existing incumbent's contract expires by the end.As part of allocating a new CRO a handover/knowledge transfer from the incumbent provider is required to ensure a smooth transition and business continuity. We are using an accelerated open procedure to ensure that we are not only able to allocate a new CRO in time, but we are also able to ensure the optimal transition from one provider to the other.
