This initiative, classified under health services, encompasses a broad array of medical consumables, skin-care products, protective hosiery, medical software, cameras, courier services, consultancy, and educational and training services. The contract, valued at £500 million GBP, was signed on 2nd August 2021, with a modification extending its end date to 1st August 2026 due to unforeseen governance requirements.
