If accredited, they must demonstrate how they will meet the relevant service specification, location requirements and fully mobilise the service by 12 Jan 26. This response is assessed for compliance, providers will receive confirmation and proceed to contract setup.\nPhase 3 - Contract Award\nOnce accreditation and service specification assessments are successfully completed, and the provider is deemed suitable, a contract is awarded to deliver services on behalf of the ICB.\nThere is no guarantee of business for any provider appointed. The NHS Standard Contract will take precedent and shall be updated accordingly on an annual basis.
