The contract is classified under the medical hospital services industry category (CPV 85111200) and is located in the UKH16 region of the United Kingdom. This particular tender has reached the contract modification stage following the original award and is governed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Key activities began on 1st June 2026 with the contract set to conclude on 30th September 2026, including an extension aimed at accommodating further activity.
