Rolling Local tenders
From 2006 onward, rolling local area level tenders were introduced to replace poor-performing providers throughout the extended contract period. Providers will be subject to review at six-monthly intervals against the performance requirements specified in their contract, and poor performing providers may have their business put to tender.
The rolling local area level tenders will be held around March and September each year. It is anticipated that a significant minority of business will be tendered each six months. This means that every six months there will be opportunities for potential new entrants to tender to enter the market and for existing high-performing providers to expand their market share.
