The service will ensure continuity of care, minimise rework for permanent staff, and provide robust governance and reporting throughout. This notice is confirmation of an award having been made based on a framework agreement and without competition. The lifetime value of the contract is £174,100.00. Phase 1 value £30,800.00. Phase 2 up to £143,300.00. The services are to be provided between 15 October and 31 July 2025. This is a new service with a new provider.
