The Health Board has secured further funding to continue this programme, managed by Keystream Group Limited via the CCS RM6277 framework. The procurement process is being administered without a call for competition due to the specialised nature of the work, ensuring continuity and stability in service delivery.

The contract was signed on 26th March 2026, with a total value of £126,500 GBP.
