The current clinical service provider has served notice on their contract, which has reduced the timescales for having a new service by six months. The tender process did not result in any bids being submitted when it closed on Fri 12th May 23. As there is no option to have any break in service, we need certainty around provision for 1st October 23 onwards. In the current circumstances, the only feasible option to meet these timescales is to bring the service in-house, alongside the current Recovery Solutions Team.
