Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no size or turnover thresholds, but the work is specifically senior GP clinical leadership, so a business that cannot supply qualified senior GPs would be ruled out, and the award follows the NHS Provider Selection Regime rather than standard public tender rules.
Always check the tender documents.
