The training aims to prepare military surgeons and perioperative care practitioners for damage control surgery in austere environments. Potential suppliers should note that the engagement end date is on 17th February 2025. This is a market engagement phase, seeking input from suppliers about the potential provision of the service. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in surgical training and logistics. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate.
