The contract is focused on Acute Hospital Services and is geographically tied to the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being signed on 11th July 2025. Following a limited procurement method, the contract was awarded without prior publication due to the unique nature of the services, which are deemed to be provided only by the specified supplier, East Kent Hospital Foundation Trust.
