It falls under the industry category of "Miscellaneous health services" and will be located in the Southend-on-Sea area, UKH31 region. The procurement method applied was a direct award process (PSR Direct Award Process C), specifically for services, and it commenced on 16th June 2026, ending on 31st March 2027. This contract, valued at £45,000, was formally announced and awarded as of 29th June 2026, following an intention to award notice issued earlier in June.
