This contract, classified under the health services sector (CPV code 85100000), is located in the UKC region and involves a service-based procurement method that bypasses the usual competitive tendering procedures. The procurement is in the award stage, with the contract slated to commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026.

The contract has been awarded to Prudhoe Medical Group, with the term of the award confirmed to start from 1st October 2025.

Larger healthcare providers with established track records are well-positioned to compete and succeed in such service-based agreements.
