The Services to which this procurement relate fall within scope of Schedule 3 of the Regulations, therefore this procurement is being conducted as a bespoke, three-stage process, which, whilst similar in nature to a Competitive Dialogue process, will deviate significantly from the regulated procedure, and use terminology as specified within the Bidder Instructions.

This will be a cap and collar block contract, derived from the Provider's tariff for delivering indicative levels of activity. The ICB have set annual affordability limits for each year of the potential contract duration, totaling a maximum contract value for the initial 5-year term of £68,047,000 and a further total of £29,550,000 if extended for the further 2 years. The maximum spend permissible under this contract will be £97,605,000. 15% of the contract value will be contingent upon meeting key performance measures.
