We are seeking to contract with suitably qualified and experienced provider(s) for the provision of a non-emergency patient transport service.

- Manage demand through eligibility criteria, and reduction of inappropriate use of PTS.
- Improve value for money of the commissioned services whilst maintaining fitness for purpose and minimising risk.
- Improve service quality by: Delivering appropriate and flexible transport with supporting clinical expertise to service planned and ad-hoc care and transport needs.
