Description
This contract Award has been made following direct award process A of the Provider Selection Regime. <br/> <br/>These contracts are awarded to an existing group of providers. Although we would not restrict the number of providers who deliver these LCS services provided they meet the contract and specification criteria, the primary reason that these services can only be delivered by this group of providers (GP) is because they are required to hold a contract via the GP Framework and deliver the LCS alongside these services; the LCS is designed to enhance the GP Framework contract and not stand alone, therefore, interdependency between the two services is paramount. <br/> <br/>The provider is paid on an activity basis based on local prices, therefore the overall contract value is unknown. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>The contract will be from 01/04/2026 to 31/03/2027 <br/><br/> <br/><br/>This is an existing service with an existing provider.
