The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has completed a direct procurement process for an "Advertising Package" to recruit doctors, partnering with BMJ Publishing Group Limited. This services contract falls under the industry category of business services, specifically involving advertising and recruitment, classified under CPV code 79000000. Situated in Lincoln County Hospital, Lincoln, the procurement is vital for effective recruitment efforts. The process has advanced to the contract award stage, with an active status following its completion. The contract period spans from 19 July 2025 to 18 July 2027, marking a significant duration for execution, with the contract signed on 14 July 2025.
