The extension option ensures continued maintenance, hosting and support. The contract extension will enable a system wide assessment across NWSSP Employment Services., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: This contract extension will provide continued access, enabling GP Practices to manage their Permanent and Temporary staff. Critical to this service is ongoing compliance with capturing GP Practice workforce activity for the purpose of the Wales General Medical Practice Indemnity Scheme.
