The London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames concluded a direct award contract titled "Community Equipment Services" in the health and social care sector with PROVIDE EQUIPMENT HUB LIMITED. The contract addresses the urgent need for equipment services following the impending liquidation of the existing contractor. Located in Twickenham, the buying organisation is a sub-central government authority. The contract began on 1st August 2025 and is due to run until 31st July 2026, with a potential renewal extending up to July 2028, in order to accommodate planning in a constrained market.
