VI.3) Additional information
The CCGs are reviewing the proposed service in light of the current and ongoing Covid-19 situation and the potential impact this may have on services going forward. Given that there may be changes required to the service specification and delivery, the CCGs are proposing to issue a revised opportunity in 2021. On that basis, regrettably the decision has been taken to abandon this procurement opportunity. Commissioners would like to thank those who expressed interest in bidding for this contract and appreciated the time and care taken in preparing their submissions.
They hope that when the service is re-tendered that any potential bidders will consider participating again
