Indicators

• Contract modified due to additional needs.

Legal Justification

The services are NHS acute hospital services delivered by an NHS Foundation Trust, requiring highly specialist, integrated clinical pathways and infrastructure. A change of provider would not be feasible without significant duplication of cost, including re-establishing systems, workforce arrangements, and commissioned service pathways. It would also create substantial risk to service continuity and patient care, with potential disruption during transition. For these reasons, maintaining the existing provider is the only practical option to ensure continuity, efficiency, and value for money.
