Description
Procurement through Direct Award A under the Provider Selection Regime. Direct Award Process A was justified because the service is interdependent with the existing School Based Health Service and wider Sexual Health contracts already provided by Homerton NHS Healthcare Foundation Trust (HHFT). Awarding to HHFT is vital to ensure accurate and timely safeguarding information sharing within the same informatics systems, providing a consistent approach and continuity of care for the vulnerable young people cohort.
