The Direct Award C process involves awarding a contract to provider(s) without running a competitive process, because the relevant authority (SSOTICB) confirms that the existing providers are satisfying the existing contracts and are likely to satisfy the new contracts, and the proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably from the existing contracts.

The total value for Assisted Conception Services is £684,630.00. The new contracts will run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, and the estimated lifetime value of the new contract for Circle Health Group Limited is £3,000.00. This is a zero-based activity contract, paid at a locally agreed price per activity.

The unit price remains unchanged from the previous contract.
