Publisher note: The Commissioner has made a decision to abandon the current process as permitted within Document 1 – ITT Process Overview document (under section 26.1.i). The justification for this is that the Commissioner has taken the decision to amend some of the requirements and stipulations within the procurement for the provision of Fertility Services. In order to maintain a fair and transparent process, the Commissioner is withdrawing this process and intend to go back to out to market with a new service offer including revised documentation.
