- Change The end date of these contracts was originally 01/04/2026 for all 3 providers listed in this notice. It is necessary to extend these to ensure continuing care for patients while a DAB process is fully completed. The modified end dates for the 3 providers are based on compliance with financial thresholds and will now be as follows: Cygnet Health is extended to 30/06/2026 Elysium Healthcare Ltd is extended to 30/06/2026 Iris Care Group is extended to 30/06/2026 The contract actual spend will be closely monitored to ensure that they do not breach thresholds prior to DAB process being completed., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: This contract was due to expire on 01/04/2026. it was anticipated that a DAB process being undertaken jointly with a system partner to re-procure all specialist hospital provision under a DAB process would have concluded by this time. Unfortunately this is not the case and a short extension is required to secure ongoing care for the patients currently in care. the price increase indicated below is the maximum possible across all 3 contracts combined.
