## Summary

The University Hospitals Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Retail Space Lease" in the retail trade services industry. This open procedure, conducted below the threshold, pertains to a location in Workington, England, with the final award granted on 1st May 2024. Key dates include the tender period closing on 30th April 2024 and the contract running from 1st May 2024 to 30th April 2034.
