Legal Review of Framework Terms and Conditions for Public Health England's National Microbiology Framework

About

Public Health England awarded a contract to Mills & Reeve LLP for the review of the framework terms and conditions required prior to publication of the New National Microbiology Framework, as the underlying NHS Framework terms and conditions (upon which the PHE Microbiology Framework was based) were last revised in 2018.

The outputs included ensuring the proposed framework and call-off terms and conditions were up to date with all relevant changes since 2018, aligning them with PHE's requirements based on experience managing the current framework, and enabling use by other participating authorities.

Mills & Reeve were selected as preferred supplier because they are the authors of the underlying NHS Framework terms and conditions.

The contract value was £60,000 and the CCS Framework reference was RM3786.
