When originally let, the contract for the provision of these clinical research services was awarded following an OJEU tendering procedure. Our awarded vendor terminated the contract before completion. Continuation of an international research study for the final 6 months of the trial cannot be undertaken without a CRO having been appointed. Therefore to ensure continuation of the trial and to act proactively to mitigate risk to the trial, the University has appointed a CRO to undertake the final 6 months of the trial.
