The contract award process, completed and awarded as of 14th October 2025, used a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations 2023.

Businesses that are adept at forming strategic alignments with health care authorities and are capable of providing specialised drugs in compliance with regional healthcare regulations would find such procurements particularly advantageous.
