This contract was awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and not governed by Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

With the focus on patient choice and delivering essential care services across multiple regions, this procurement can help health service providers expand their operational footprint and service offerings.
