A leading private firm has urged the Government to delay the rollout of NHS 111 to mitigate ?significant risks' with the current tender process, as it withdrew its bid to run the service.
Capita told Pulse it had withdrawn from the bidding process for the new integrated service, as the current tender specifications were not ?cost-effective'.
It comes as two other private companies withdrew their interest in bidding to run the Government's new out-of-hours urgent care line.
Fellow private firm Serco has confirmed that it would not be bidding to run the service ?for internal reasons', while Care UK said it too was not bidding for any contracts at present.
