The contract, valued at £51,000, falls under the Health Services category and covers the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2026. The procurement method used was a single tender action below threshold, and the contract was directly awarded to Professor Alex McMahon.

The engagement will be carried out in the United Kingdom, with the project's suitability criteria indicating a preference for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses offering consultancy in the health sector, particularly those with experience in steering committee leadership.
