The service must be fully mobilised and live from 1st July 2022.

The contract term is for a period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further period up to 1 year.

The annual budget for this service is in the range of £320,000 - £340,000.

In line with the Health and Care Act (2022), it is envisaged that CCGs will be abolished and replaced by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). Any reference to BLMK CCG in this procurement should be interpreted as referring to the BLMK ICB that will take its place in due course.

The Procurement was managed by NHS London Shared Service (LSS) (formerly NELCSU), on behalf of the Authority, in connection with a competitive Invitation to Tender (ITT) exercise that was conducted via a procurement process, based on the Open procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations” (as amended)).
