The award must be made urgently due to a service that needs to be arranged rapidly in unforeseen emergency. It was unforeseen that mutual aid would be required initially, but an audit of UHLs waiting list times revealed them to be below national standard. To address this immediately, mutual aid has been sought through urgent procedure. <br/><br/>The total contract value is estimated to be £82,954.37 based on a tariff cost per week (SC40Z and SC23Z) OF £2107.68 and £1,348.75, causing a total per week of £2456.432 over the contract duration.<br/><br/>The services will be delivered under contract from 14/10/2024 to 31/03/2025.
