Exploiting Intellectual Property, Promoting Innovation and Creating Value in Health

Tender description

Many NHS organisations and staff have recognised the opportunity innovation represents and aspire to capitalise on their work by securing Intellectual Property Rights, creating value, promoting innovation, and generating an income for the NHS to fund further innovation and services. NHS providers are currently missing these opportunities.

This procurement supports both those needs.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
