The awarded contract, valued at £19,100 excluding VAT (£22,920 including VAT), was signed on 28th March 2025, with a project duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st May 2025 and a possible extension to 30th June 2025. The contract location is primarily London, UK, and was awarded to The Patients Association, a large VCSE organisation based in Middlesex.
