Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) should find the project especially fitting given its innovative and niche focus. Companies that can contribute to enhancing healthcare outcomes for individuals with rare diseases through advanced data collection and analysis are well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
