Additional Information
This is a voluntary notice, as these are ‘Part B' services. Although the CCGs are following a procedure which is akin to the restricted procedure, the use of a voluntary Contract Notice and of terminology which reflects the restricted procedure does not indicate that the CCGs accept that they are bound by the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended) and/or the Public Procurement Directive (2004/18/EC) save for the provisions of the Regulations and the Directive which apply to Part B services.
