The subject of procurement is the "Provision of a Mixed Inpatient and Community Rehabilitation Service," categorized under "community health services" (CPV code 85323000). This service is to be delivered at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, UK (region UKK23). The procurement involves contract modifications, with an active contract extension starting from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The primary procurement stage is focused on the contract and award updates, and the contract's total value amounts to £2,000,000.
