This will require meticulous planning, flawless management of the entire system and exemplary relationship management to achieve the many incremental improvements throughout the entire contract on each and every day of its delivery.
The main objective e of the procurement is to have a Prime (Lead) Provider that will then have responsibility for the delivery NICE approved interventions and sub-contracting of all elements of the service to ensure we have the right level of step 2 and step 3 low and high intensity therapies available and accessible to people in Bromley.
