Description
Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust currently has four sites outsourced for the delivery of Dialysis Services. Whilst three sites remain in contract until 2030, the location of Chandlers Ford expires in March 2025. There is still a need for the Trust to access this location and services, therefore we intend to enter into a new contract with the incumbent supplier using the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) 2024 using process Direct Award C. The new contract will be awarded based on three initial years, then two subsequent optional extension periods of twelve months. The total potential lifetime of the contract is five years with a potential lifetime value of £8,052,454.80. The contract must start from 1 April 2025 to enable continuous service delivery to patients.
