This tender, identified as DN768667, falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and was completed using a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Hamberley Care Homes, an SME based in London, with the contract period commencing on 25th March 2025 and set to conclude on 25th March 2029. The delivery location for the services is within the UKK1 region, indicating a localised service offering by the supplier.
