This is a direct award notice using the NHS Provider Selection Regime 2023 Direct Award C process for the services detailed below, delivered on behalf of the Borough of Telford & Wrekin Council. The direct award C process for this contract has been used as:
• the term of an existing contract is due to expire, and the Council is proposing a new contract to replace that existing contract at the end of its term
