This contract falls within the health services industry category and is specifically for the payment of medication for self-funded patients requiring IVF treatments. The procurement method used was a direct award, deemed necessary due to the urgency to ensure uninterrupted medication provision. The process has reached the award stage, with a contract period from 19th May 2025 to 30th May 2025.
