Located in the United Kingdom with activities centred around Manchester and Newcastle Upon Tyne, the award stage was completed with the contract being awarded on 23 April 2024 to The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Key dates defined the tender period's end on 31 March 2024, with the contract period extending from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2025, providing a clear timeline for involvement.
