The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in London has completed the procurement process for the "Leng Review – Patient Focus Groups" project, falling under the services category. The primary objective of this project is to design and run patient focus groups. The procurement method adopted was direct, below the threshold without competition. The awarded contract, valued at £19,100 excluding VAT (£22,920 including VAT), was signed on 28th March 2025, with a project duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st May 2025 and a possible extension to 30th June 2025. The contract location is primarily London, UK, and was awarded to The Patients Association, a large VCSE organisation based in Middlesex.
