This contract is valued at approximately £237,000 for its full term, which runs from 1 April 2025 until 31 March 2026. Located in Dorchester, part of the UKK2 region, the contract pertains to the health services industry and aims to support the digital mental health sector. The procurement method was limited, awarded under the PSR regulations without prior publication of a call for competition, and is now in the contract award stage, officially signed off on 1 April 2025.
