The contract includes provision for on-call IV services over weekends and bank holidays, along with specific per-call out, dispensing, and delivery fees.

The awarded contractor, Medwyn Pharmacy, is an established provider that successfully met the selection criteria including integration, collaboration, service sustainability, and social value delivery, making this contract an ideal fit for businesses demonstrating similar capabilities.
