Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to NHS England Commissioners by 7 February 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
