This contract, valued at £6,786, has been awarded through a direct award process as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement process covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East and North Cumbria, as part of a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is set to start on 1st April 2025 and end on 31st March 2026, with Mellis Eyecare being the selected supplier.
