This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is located in Wiltshire (UKK). The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract being assigned to Kenneth and Avon Medical Partnership.

Any representations must be submitted within 8 working days from the announcement date of 21 March 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £61,500, may be extended until 31 March 2027.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services to build strong partnerships and gain long-term contracts with the NHS. Firms with a proven track record in delivering high-quality patient care will find this particularly advantageous.
