Seems like a shell company set up in January 2026 - never traded before.

How could they be getting loads of NHS contracts?

Will be interesting to see how it works out.

GP surgeries in the UK are privately owned, their relationship with the NHS is contractual. It would not be surprising if they can buy whatever B2B SaaS they feel like.

As soon as you say "Ay up" it should transfer to a real person. Seems like a win to me.
