Transferring Cash ISA which has a long notice period

I want to transfer my Cash ISA.  However the Notice period is 120 days.  I have contacted a number of  ISA providers and, so far, none will do a transfer in with such a long notice period.  Any suggestions?   Ideally one that will accept such a transfer.

    Do you have the option of an internal transfer to a more accessible product with your current provider, as an interim step?

    Thank you - thats certainly Plan B as Plan A (moving the ISA) is looking increasing unlikely.

    I moved my isa from West Brom which had a 180 day penalty free notice period.
    When I contacted m&s bank about a transfer I was told it all depended what the provider you were transferring from would accept.I waited till 30 days before I actually put my transfer in as I didn’t think they would honour the interest rate for longer than that.I think it’s normally around 28 - 30 days with most banks/bs though.
