This process, titled "Clinical Safety Services," falls under the industry category of safety consultancy services, specifically targeting clinical safety support. Located in Saint Leonards-on-sea in the South East region of the United Kingdom, the procurement has moved beyond the tender stage to the award phase, with the contract awarded on 18th March 2026. The contract period spans from 13th March 2026 to 12th March 2027, with a total value of £117,000 GBP.
