This procurement, valued at approximately £1.89 million, is conducted under the Light Touch Regime in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The awarded contracts are for Lot 1, Quarter 3 of the 2025/2026 fiscal year, covering Health and Social Work Services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.
