This contract offers an opportunity for an experienced provider to contribute to improved hospital flow, reduced re-admissions and better outcomes for residents across Herefordshire.

Contract duration: 12 months, with an option to extend for up to an additional 12 months.

The procurement is being carried out under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) permissible under PA 2023, Section 9, and therefore applies the flexibilities afforded under above regulation.
