The services include phlebotomy, specialised drug monitoring, safeguarding, and more. The procurement process utilises a direct award method without prior publication, specifically under PSR regulations, and the awarding of this contract is not governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The contract, valued at £69,488, is intended for a duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, serving the UKF3 region. The standstill period ends on 12th September 2025, which is the deadline for submitting representations.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in healthcare services, particularly in the areas outlined, are well-suited to compete in this sector, benefiting from the stable contractual relationship and the potential to improve healthcare outcomes for communities. Given the focus on integration and sustainability, businesses that excel in collaborative approaches and service expansion would find this tender especially advantageous.
