This contract falls under the category of miscellaneous health services and covers locations within Northumberland, specifically Bedlington, Guidepost, Seaton Park, and The Gables Medical Groups. Awarded under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023, the procurement method used was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to urgent circumstances.
