A mobilisation period of 1 month will be applied prior to the commencement of the start date.<br/><br/>NHS NW London is looking to tender this opportunity via an Atamis portal in the coming weeks. This procurement process is subject to the so-called light touch regime as set out in regulations 74-76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR”) as the procurement concerns health services which are social & other specific services according to the PCR. This opportunity is likely to be of interest to an organisation from the voluntary, community & social enterprise (VCSE) sector.
