The services include phlebotomy, warfarin management, spirometry, and additional bundled services in Lincolnshire East, with a contract duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

The buying organisation is based in Sleaford, UKF30 region, with the procurement stage currently focusing on an active award to Greyfriars Surgery.

By participating in such frameworks, businesses can secure long-term relationships with healthcare commissioners, enhancing their visibility and potential for future contracts.
