Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, located in Glenfield, Leicester, UK, has awarded a contract for the provision of block booking beds to address the temporary shortage of mental health beds in its facilities.

The trust's commitment to maintaining local patient care and reducing out-of-area placements aligns with strategic healthcare delivery goals, offering growth opportunities for providers that meet the trust's high standards of quality. Furthermore, this contract may serve as a stepping stone for providers looking to establish long-term partnerships with regional NHS trusts.
