Interested suppliers should note that achieving accreditation does not constitute a guarantee of any volume or spend by NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit.

Furthermore, the above Contract Start date is subject to change; the commencement of any contract between MLCSU and an accredited sub-contractor will depend upon the specific requirements of the MLCSU.
