The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submission extended to 30th April 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic impacts. This contract, valued at £50,000 with a minimum value of £25,000, involves the establishment of a 'Pseudo' Open Framework Agreement for outpatient and paramedical treatments for approximately 600 operational and corporate support staff.
