Rutherford Health has announced that its network of Rutherford Cancer Centres have entered into a framework agreement with NHS England under which it will provide cancer treatment and diagnostic imaging services to NHS Trusts and clinical commissioning groups.
The agreement is for a two-year period with an option to extend for a further two years on the agreement of both parties. Services will be provided at a pre-agreed set of prices.
Mike Moran, CEO of Rutherford Health plc, commented: "We are absolutely delighted to have signed this agreement with NHS England. We have been supplying radiotherapy and systemic anti-cancer therapy to NHS patients in England and Wales. This agreement streamlines the procurement process and enables NHS organisations in England to commission a range of services directly from us. It means we will provide our services more widely.
