        "description": "Following the submission of bids, the commissioner has seen a significantly higher volume of interest than originally anticipated. While we welcome this strong market response, the volume of detailed submissions means that the current single-stage evaluation process is no longer the most proportionate or effective way to identify the most suitable provider.\nIn accordance with Section A.19 of the ITT document published for this process and Regulation 15 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, the Commissioner has decided to abandon the current procurement exercise and will shortly relaunch the opportunity as a two-stage competitive process.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) notice that this provider selection process has been abandoned and a contract has not been awarded. This process has been abandoned under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and The Procurement Act 2023 do not apply.",
