This initiative falls within the medical equipment and personal care products category, targeting regions across England, including the North East, London, and the South West. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a projected budget of approximately £7.3 million for the first year, leading up to an estimated total budget of £28.96 million over the framework's full duration from November 2019 to October 2023. This opportunity is being pursued via an open procurement method, aligned with the above-threshold regulations, and is designed to cater to various healthcare entities that will utilise these aids.
