The ICB also reserves the right, following the formation of NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB, to amend the scope of patient eligibility for IMOS services. This may include extending eligibility to all patients registered with GP practices located within either Surrey or Sussex, and/or individuals resident within the geographic boundaries of Surrey or Sussex. Any such amendments will be made in line with statutory obligations under the PSR and associated guidance, alongside the governance, commissioning policies, and assurance processes of the merged ICB. The procurement is divided into 9 lots across the Kent and Medway ICB and Sussex ICB areas. Providers may bid for a maximum of 2 Lots.
