This procurement, classified under health and social work services, will commence on 1st April 2018, with an expected duration of three years, potentially extendable for another three years.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to enable diverse providers to contribute to the service provision for patients across North and Central London.
