The procurement process involves Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, the buying organisation, conducting a tender for the "DASH Scheme: Community and Stakeholder Engagement." This project falls under the services industry category, specifically covering general management and public relations consultancy services. Located in Salisbury, UK, the tender has reached the Award stage as of 9th July 2026, and the related contract period extends from 22nd June 2026 to 14th August 2026. The procurement used a direct method, deemed as below threshold and executed without competition, to engage Coast Communications, the winning supplier.
