Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health service sector could see growth in their service scope by positioning themselves for direct award contracts that rely on quality over price. Although the contract's value varies with patient activity, aligning service offerings with nationally mandated NHS Payment Schemes could provide financial stability and growth.
