These comprise of NHS and Social Care organisations (whether acting individually, or on behalf of, or together as members of any consortia) along with any other public or private sector bodies which NHS SBS authorises to use the resulting Framework.

It will be conducted in accordance with regulations 74 to 77 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), and relates to the legal services which are listed in Schedule 3 of the P C R 2015 as a specific service. Competition may be re-opened under the light touch regime at specific points during the terms should it be deemed appropriate or should there be sufficient new entrants into the marketplace. New Entrants will only be awarded contracts for the remaining term of the Framework Agreement.
We are committed to working with suppliers who are dedicated to Sustainability and Social Value and there will be a significant weighting on these elements in the tender.

NHS SBS have extended the deadline for submissions for this opportunity. We are unable to amend the Discovery Posting due to technical issues and therefore have created a new link to allow bidders who may not have expressed an interest to date an opportunity to bid. The requirements under the original tender remain the same and this link takes bidders to the identical documents relating to the Insourcing of Clinical Services opportunity.
