Please note that the services and associated specification and prices, commissioned within this contract may be subject to review and change. Any changes to the contract shall be subject to discussion with the Provider to reach agreement on the scope of service change and local price in accordance with these provisions and relevant contract variation would be completed. The Provider will be asked to participate in the development and redesign of relevant pathways that may result from this development

The rationale for a future review may include:

• The CCG's intention is to work closer with the CCGs within the Suffolk and NEE STP footprint. Therefore the scope of the possible changes to be made to this contract shall relate to the potential introduction of a larger population to support the STP footprint (i.e. the contract and specification may be amended to also deliver a dermatology service to the Ipswich & East Suffolk and West Suffolk CCG populations), through a variation to the contract in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015

• The contract being amended in terms of the original services supplied (in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The Services to which this Procurement relates fall within Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the 'Regulations'). As such, the procurement of the Services is being run as a bespoke, single stage application process akin to the Open procedure, involving a number of stages which are outlined within the suite of procurement documents. The CCG does not intend to hold itself bound by any of the Regulations, save those applicable to Schedule 3 Services. You are advised that the budget will be in the region of £2.7m and £3.1m excluding CQUIN per year across the period of the contract, therefore £ 20925000 to £24025000 total contract value, for the potential 7 years and 9 months, which is a combination of five years and 9 months, plus a possible extension of up to 2 years.
