Key dates include online engagement sessions scheduled for the 20th and 22nd of May 2025, with the overall engagement concluding on the 6th of June 2025. The engagement is set within the health services industry category, and the location of the activity is within the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as a services category and the main contract period of interest falls between the 19th of May and 6th of June 2025.
