NHS England, a central government public authority, has completed a procurement process titled "Obstetric Sonography Training Offer" for Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust. This project falls under the industry category of education and training services, specifically obstetric sonography, and is located in Kent, United Kingdom. The procurement process employed a direct method, accepted without competition due to its below-threshold classification under the light touch regime. The contract was awarded on the 1st of September, 2025, and runs until the 31st of March, 2026, with a total contract value of £28,460 GBP.
