This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) notice to confirm that the Provider Selection Regime process (Competitive Process) for this service has been abandoned and a contract has not been awarded.

This process has been abandoned under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this procurement.

During the standstill period, the ICB received representations. As a result, the ICB was originally intending to re-issue updated Outcome Letters and restart the standstill period. However, upon further review, the ICB reviewed the position and agreed that it was not viable to continue with the process.

This notice to confirm the abandonment of the PSR process is linked to the following notice published by MLCSU on behalf of the ICB:
