This procurement falls under the services category within the healthcare industry. The contract, whose estimated value is approximately £9.5 million, is set in the UK and is currently in the Award stage, following its signing on 28th February 2022. The initial contract period commenced on 1st May 2017 and will extend until 31st October 2022, including a six-month extension to address increased demands due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
