The resilience contract was initially a 1yr contract, extended for another year. It was naturally due to end now.
16/01/2023 - TLY awarded the National resilience contract, worth c£10m, with a potential 1 year extension.
"initially for one year with the option to extend for a further year."

The extension ran for 12 months from 16/02/2024, so 6 weeks of the contract was in fy24 and the remaining in fy25.
10/01/2024 - TLY awarded the one year extension
"awarded a contract extension by NHS England to provide national NHS 111 contingency services for a further year."
"The contract, awarded to Vocare Limited ("Vocare"), part of Totally Urgent Care, will run for 12 months from 16 February 2024 at a value of c.£13 million per annum."

The contract came to a natural end, wasn't renewed. NHS England under Labour govn don't want to use a National resilience service. Tories did, Labour doesn't want to.
14/02/2025 - Today's update:
"The Company today announces that its NHS 111 National Resilience support contract (the "NHS 111 Contract") has not been renewed by NHS England and therefore will come to a conclusion on 15 February 2025. "
"This reflects NHS England's strategy to no longer provide resilience services (which support 111 pressures at a local level) at a national level."

c6 weeks of the contract was in fy24 and the remaining recognised in current, fy25. They didn't lose c£1m as savage wrongly suggested, from the contract news, my reading is this was in fy24, March 2024.
"The value of the contract was c.£13 million, with c.£12 million being recognised in the current financial year. "
Any extension/new contract would have started around now, so obviously wouldn't impact the current fy25, March 2025. However, they were hoping for an extension for fy26, ending 31st March 2026, hence the adjustment for next year.
"The Company was not reliant on the extension of the NHS 111 Contract for the delivery of its FY25 forecast and therefore remains confident of delivering FY25 performance in line with expectations of £85 million revenue and £3.5 million EBITDA"
"The Board's financial expectations for the year ending 31 March 2026 did assume a renewal of the NHS 111 Contract, however at a reduced level. "
