This contract falls under the health services category, as classified by CPV (85100000). The Trust engaged National Clinical Insourcing Ltd through a direct award process without competition, primarily due to the operational urgency and the need to alleviate waiting list pressures swiftly. The procurement process is now at the award stage, with the contract commencing on 7th February 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2026.
