## Description
The National Health Service Commissioning Board (which uses the operational name ‘NHS England’) established a framework for clinical services titled Increasing Capacity Framework (ICF) under the light touch regime in November 2020.
As advertised in the original OJEU contract notice this framework agreement could be refreshed. This award notification is to advise of contract awards associated with refreshing the framework agreement.
The awarded clinical services under the Framework Agreement include:
1) NHS inpatient and outpatient (including full supporting pathology and imaging) services and urgent elective care and cancer treatment to service users in line with nationally set criteria;
2) NHS inpatient non-elective care (either direct admission or transfer from an NHS organisation).
The ICF may be accessed by NHS England and all ICB's, and NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts across England and their successor bodies.
