Feedback PLC (AIM:FDBK) has announced a new contract extension with Queen Victoria Hospital, in Sussex, which is host to the company’s first Bleepa-CareLocker Community Diagnostics Centre (CDC) solution.
The paid contract extension comes after a prior deal and the hospital’s abandonment of its previous procurement process, which happened in March 2023.
"Although QVH had expected to conclude its tender process by 31st March 2023, we have been informed by the Trust that the existing tender process is no longer progressing,” Feedback chief executive Dr Tom Oakley said in a statement. “We are pleased to be supporting QVH on an interim basis to ensure the continuity of ongoing patient care whist they undertake a further procurement exercise.”
Oakley added: “The digital component of CDC delivery that Feedback provides is critical, and we continue to champion the QVH CDC programme to other NHS organisations through the continuation of this contract, and remain confident in the emerging opportunity that CDCs represent both for the company and the wider NHS.
“While we continue to support QVH, the company will actively explore opportunities to support the wider CDC capability throughout the NHS."
