This initiative falls under the industry category of health services, including specialised medical services, and operates within the United Kingdom's Northern Ireland region. The process involves preliminary market engagement to gather insights and potential service delivery methods from existing providers in the field. Interested suppliers must submit their responses to the questionnaire available on eTendersNI by 17th April 2026.
