The project focuses on community health services classified under CPV code 85323000 and involves collaboration with Norfolk and adjacent regions in the UK, specifically UKH15, UKH16, and UKH17. This contract opens avenues for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those with capabilities in community health improvement and smoking cessation interventions.
