The procurement falls under the industry category of banking services with a CPV code of 66110000. It follows a selective procurement method characterised by a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering stage has been completed, and the award has been made to Lloyds Bank PLC with a contract value of £162,000. The contract period is scheduled from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. This process was concluded with an award notice published on 3rd July 2026.
