This contract will almost certainly disqualify small businesses: it requires a Lead Provider with substantial NHS experience, regulatory registration, proven ability to manage multiple teams across six boroughs, and £90 million worth of delivery capability. Small independent trades or SMEs under 50 staff should not apply unless they are part of a large NHS-experienced partner consortium.
