The contract was awarded to ensure continuous clinical assessment capacity amid demands from emergency services like 999 and NHS 111. Classified under the industry category of call centre and medical specialist services, this process utilised a direct award method to Herts Urgent Care. The tender stage culminated with an award date of 21st July 2026, and the contract, valued at £700,000, will run until 31st March 2028.
