The footprint may be extended at a later date to reflect a boundary change that will include South Cumbria. The Scheme will be delivered via an APMS contract.The procurement was facilitated by NECS (North England Commissioning Support).An electronic tendering tool was used to manage this procurement and communicate with potential providers.
