It is further anticipated that during the life of the contract the provider(s), in partnership with the commissioner, will develop an consortia model with key partners who are involved in the delivery of relevant pathways that contribute to the achievement of the specified outcomes. The anticipated commencement date for the Contract is 1st October 2022 and the anticipated expiry date for the Contract is 30th September 2027 with the option to extend for up to a further sixty (60) months. Further details regarding the Services required are set out in the Specification and in the Conditions of Contract.
