## Summary

SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION LIMITED, located in London, has concluded a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Disposable and Washable Continence Care,” within the medical equipments, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry category.

This recent phase in the procurement journey concluded with the award phase on 2nd April 2026, while key contract periods are set to start on 24th August 2026 and may extend up to August 2030.
