The procurement method is limited, notably executed without prior publication to a wider audience, allowing specific businesses with the required credentials an opportunity to grow through collaboration with the Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Companies with a solid track record in specialised medical services that value high-quality service delivery at competitive prices are well-suited to this opportunity to expand their footprint within the healthcare system.
