Tender description

NHS England is committed to improving the health of the NHS workforce. We are exploring opportunities to enable staff to make healthier choices and encourage more active lifestyles, including the installation of infrastructure and facilities to promote active travel.

Any commercial/contractual relationships would be entered into at a local level and the main site or place of performance is to be agreed with individual NHS Trusts.
