This contract, classified under the health services industry category (CPV code 85100000), employs a limited procurement method, specifically a Direct Award Process under the 2023 Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations. Covering the UKC region, the process awarded the contract to Britton and Robson Ltd with a start date of 1st April 2025 and an end date of 31st March 2026.

This tender provides a stable opportunity for businesses involved in delivering specialised health services, offering them potential growth through a year's contract engagement with a public sector entity. While the contract itself is activity-based without a guaranteed monetary value, it presents businesses with a platform to extend their market presence and reputation in the health services realm within the region. Enterprises that have the infrastructure to address specific niches in health care, particularly those that can operate without competition due to their unique offerings, are well-positioned to compete in such opportunities.
