The agreement involves multiple suppliers, including Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd, Ingenica Solutions Ltd, and Genesis Automation (UK) Ltd, among others. The contract, valued at £50,000,000, covers a wide geographical area, with services applicable throughout the UK. Initiated as a tender, the process has now reached the contract award stage and includes provisions such as a 12-month extension due to unforeseen circumstances impacting the procurement timeline.
