The content of each combined HNA/SRC report will be as per the specification but, in general terms, will include a local health needs review, local future model options and recommendations. Full requirements for all work activities can be found in the specification.

As a result of the procurement, a single contract will be let to deliver all of the requirements identified, with a maximum total contract value of £116,000 excluding any applicable VAT.
