The PDPS will include both core services, such as smoking cessation support, and specialist services, including emergency hormonal contraception and needle exchange programmes. The procurement process adheres to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, establishing a light-touch regime to ensure transparency and equal treatment for all bidders. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health sector, particularly those specialising in pharmacy services, public health, or community health initiatives.
