This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing healthcare services, particularly those in niche medical service areas like pelvic floor collaborations. While the procurement method was limited and direct, companies capable of providing unique healthcare services could leverage their unique offerings to pursue similar opportunities. Although this contract was directly awarded due to the lack of viable alternatives, businesses of substantial scale that specialise in collaborative healthcare provision could consider monitoring such procurement for future opportunities to showcase their potential in direct award processes or niche markets where few competitors exist.
