The industry category for this tender is health and social work services, and it is specific to the Bristol area, with the contract addressing regional needs (UKK11). The procurement stage has progressed to the "award" phase, and the contract was directly awarded to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
