- Published justification
This programme feeds directly into the new Health and Wellbeing Hub model, which has not previously been embedded within any hospital based environment and is itself a new and developing service for MFT. Groundwork advise activity, and the associated contract award, contribute directly to defining and shaping this service and its development over the duration of this contract and will itself therefore continue to be developed to support the Hub. As such, it is MFT Procurement opinion that the contract is suitable be awarded under the direct award criteria for Prototypes and Development within PA23.
