Description

This is not a live procurement advert. This is an amendment notice to advise the market that due to some unavoidable circumstances there have been some delays to our original timeline. This has resulted in the service commencement date moving from 1st October 2017 to 1st November 2017. Current contracts are being extended and this change was unavoidable. Should you wish to discuss or raise a concern regarding this amendment, please contact ahsan.haji@nhs.net and you are reminded of your rights and time frame associated with any formal challenge.
