Althea features on a number of NHS Frameworks having been appointed onto each after a rigorous OJEU tender process. Alternatively, following the new Public Contracts Regulations 2015, healthcare providers can access Open, Restricted, Competitive with Negotiation, and Competitive Dialogue procedures.
