A service mobilisation period is applicable from 1st May 2025. The appointed supplier must align with the Trust's EPR deployment timeline, which requires the Supplier's current pathology configuration and Test environment to be available by 15th November 2024 and connected to our Trust integration engine. The estimated annual contract value is £2,400,000. The estimated contract value of the initial term is £19,200,000 and including all extension the estimated total contract value is £26,400,000.
